Individuals with annual income up to Rs 5 lakh are now exempted from filing personal income tax return for the current financial year. This relief was proposed in the Union Budget last year.
However, a circular from the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) indicates that this relief has been extended for this financial year
Every year there is a general expectation from the individual tax payers on the budget proposals relating to personal taxation, especially on the tax rates/tax slabs.
This expectation is further heightened this time due to the impact of global economic slowdown directly or indirectly impacting the growth in India and inflationary trends in the domestic market.
The final contours of the direct taxes code are taking shape, but the new law will not be ready in time for the budget. Finance minister Pranab Mukherjee could still implement some of the proposals included in this ambitious recast of the country's direct taxes. ET takes a look at what could be in store for taxpayers & businesses
1) Higher tax exemption for inflation hit aam aadmi
2) More incentives for savings
4) Not much for the corporates
