Various types of tax slabs in India

India uses a slab system for calculating the income tax that individuals must pay. Different tax rates are established for various income brackets under a slab structure. It implies that as tax payer income increases, tax rates also do so. The nation can have progressive and equitable tax systems thanks to this kind of taxation. With each budget, these income tax slabs may alter. Varying taxpayer types are subject to different slab rates.

Income tax has three categories of "individual" taxpayers, including:

Individuals (aged less than 60 years) including residents and non-residents

Resident Senior citizens (60 to 80 years of age)

Resident Super senior citizens (aged more than 80 years)

In the previous Budget, the FM made no changes to the income tax slabs. The salaried class is currently anticipating the income tax rebate because the present income slab and the tax rates under the regular tax system have not altered since FY 2017–18.

In the 2020–21 Budget, the government instituted an optional income tax system under which individuals and Hindu Undivided Families would be subject to higher rates of taxation if they chose not to take advantage of certain exemptions and deductions, including Section 80C investments and the house rent allowance. Up to Rs 2.5 lakh in total income will be exempt from taxation under this.
