Centre mulls income tax cut in 2025-26 Budget amid middle-class heat

New Indian Express  

The Union government is reportedly considering a reduction in income tax for individuals earning up to Rs 15 lakhs, according to a media report. Notably, India’s income tax system features two regimes, offering taxpayers the choice between deductions and lower tax rates. Under OTR, the tax slabs for individuals below 60 years are as follows: income up to Rs 2.5 lakh is not taxed, income between Rs 2.5-5 lakh is taxed at 5 percent, income between Rs 5-10 lakh is taxed at 20 percent, and income above Rs 10 lakh is taxed at 30 percent. A reduced tax burden could benefit salaried individuals and boost disposable income which could drive higher consumer spending, aiding economic recovery during the slowdown. “While it is good to improve balance sheets, corporate profitability and workers’ income growth has to be balanced,” he had said, adding that, “without this parity, there will not be adequate demand in the economy for corporate products to be purchased.” The general perception is that the government has tightened the screws a bit too much on the middle class and needs to give some succour to help revive consumption, which has been lagging for far too long.
