# Budget 2023: Know the Old & Latest Income Tax Slab Rates

Just one thing that now the salaried class looks forward to when it comes to the
budget is the income tax incentive. When delivering Budget 2023 on 1 February 2023,
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman adjusted the slabs to offer some relief to the
middle class.

During the presentation of Budget 2020, FM Sitharaman said that “It is proposed 
to increase the rebate for the resident individual under the new regime so that 
they do not pay tax if their total income is up to ₹7 lacks.”

##  Five major announcements to make in this regard. These  primarily benefit our hard-working middle class

 The first one concerns rebate. Currently, those with income up to ` 5 lakh do not
pay any income tax in both old and new tax regimes. I propose to increase the rebate
limit to ` 7 lakh in the new tax regime. Thus, persons in the new tax regime, with
income up to ` 7 lakh will not have to pay any tax.

 The second proposal relates to middle-class individuals. I had introduced, in the
year 2020, the new personal income tax regime with six income slabs starting from`
2.5 lakh. I propose to change the tax
 structure in this regime by reducing the 
number of slabs to five and increasing the tax exemption limit to ` 3 lakh. The 
new tax rates are:

 * No tax will be charged on income up to 3 lakh rupees.
 * Income between 3-6 lakh rupees would indeed be taxed at 5%.
 * Income between 6 and 9 lakh rupees would indeed be taxed at 10%.
 * Income between 9 and 12 lacks at 15%
 * Earnings of 12-15 lakh at a 20% tax rate
 * Income of 15 lacks or over will also be taxed at 30%.

third proposal is for the salaried class and the pensioners including family pensioners,
for whom I propose to extend the benefit of standard deduction to the new tax regime.
Each salaried person with an
 income of ` 15.5 lakh or more will thus stand to benefit
by ` 52,500.

My fourth announcement in personal income tax is regarding the highest tax rate 
which in our country is 42.74 per cent. This is among the highest in the world. 
I propose to reduce the highest surcharge rate from 37 per cent to 25 per cent in
the new tax regime. This would result in reduction of the maximum tax rate to 39
per cent.

Lastly, the limit of ` 3 lakh for tax exemption on leave encashment on retirement
of non-government salaried employees was last fixed in the year 2002, when the highest
basic pay in the government was ` 30,000/- pm. In line with the increase in government
salaries, I am proposing to increase this limit to ` 25 lakh.

We are also making the new income tax regime as the default tax regime. However,
citizens will continue to have the option to avail the benefit of the old tax regime
