No Tax on Rs 12 Lakh Income?

The Indian government has introduced a tax relief plan for middle-class earners. Under the new tax regime, individuals earning up to Rs 12 lakh annually pay zero income tax. Let’s break down the tax calculation and benefits.

How Does the Rs 12 Lakh Exemption Work?

Many assume earning over Rs 12 lakh means tax applies to the entire amount. That’s not true! The exemption applies only if total income is up to Rs 12 lakh. If income exceeds this, tax applies as per slabs.
