A standard deduction of ₹75,000 is available to salaried individuals.
The rebate under Section 87A has been enhanced, ensuring that individuals with a taxable income (after deductions) of up to ₹12,00,000 are eligible for a rebate that brings their tax liability to zero. This means that individuals with a gross income of up to ₹12,75,000 will not have any tax liability after accounting for the standard deduction. Maximum Rebate Under Section 87A : 60,000
Marginal relief ensures that taxpayers whose income slightly exceeds the rebate threshold do not end up with a tax liability that is disproportionately high compared to their actual income exceeding the threshold. This provision ensures a smooth transition in tax liability for incomes just above ₹12,75,000.
