There is a major change in the exemption limit for all
employees, who would get benefited from this budget.
The basic exemption limit refers to the amount that is not taxed
for the individual. Income earned in excess of the basic
exemption limit starts getting taxed at specified rates.
A higher basic exemption limit means that the individual will be
able to get a higher amount of money in his hands.
The maximum benefit for employees below 60 years is Rs.
15450 (@ 30.6%) due to the increase in basic exemption limit.
For employees having 1 crore or more taxable income, the
increase will be Rs. 16995.
The increase in the maximum deduction in respect of interest
on home loan for self-occupied property from Rs. 1.5 lakhs to
2.00 lakhs will benefit the employee to an extent of Rs. 15450 (
@ 30.9% ). For employees above 1 crore taxable income, the
savings would be Rs 16995. (@ 33.99 %)
The increase in the maximum deduction under Section 80C of
Rs 50000 ( from 1 lakh to 1.5 lakh ) will lead to a maximum
savings of Rs. 15450 ( @ 30.9% ). For employees above 1 crore
taxable income, the savings would be Rs 16995. (@ 33.99 %)
Since, these exemptions / deductions will be have an impact to
the income that is actually earned at the highest tax bracket
applicable for the employee, assuming that an employee benefits
from both exemption as well housing loan interest / 80C limit, the
maximum tax savings put together ( on 150000) per annum will
be Rs. 15450 ( 10.3%), Rs. 30900 ( 20.6% ), Rs. 46350 ( 30.9%),
Rs 50985 ( 33.99% ).
The above calculations are computed taking cess as well into
consideration.
Happy Savings!!
