[2] Relief for the HNIs

India had one of the highest Personal Income Tax rates for people earning ₹5Cr + p.a.

The surcharge on them was 37% which has been reduced to 25%

[3] Bad news for Insurance Policy Relatives

People already made nominal gains in Insurance Policies

Now that is also taxable

However, this is only applicable where the premiums paid are ₹5L+ p.a.
[4] TCS on Foreign Tours at 20%

Planning a foreign tour?

Now your operator will ask for a 20% TCS. This rate was 5% earlier

He will ask for money and pay on your behalf to the govt

You can claim TCS credit while filing tax return. Just the outflows will increase
5] New Savings Scheme For Females

Deposit of up to ₹2L can be made in 'Mahila Samman Saving Certificate'

Can be made in the name of women or girls for 2 years

"Standard Deduction is only for those earning ₹15.5L+"

Busting all myths on Personal Taxation from #Budget2023 👇
[1] Myth: Old Tax Regime has gone

FM said, "New tax regime will be the default regime"

This doesn't mean that old regime is out

Just that you'll have to declare to your employer & while filing ITR if you're opting the Old one

Otherwise tax will be calculated as per new regime
[2] Myth: Std Deduction is for those earning ₹15.5L+

FM said, "Those earning ₹15.5L+ will benefit by ₹52.5k"

She was comparing difference b/w New Regime until 31 Mar'23 vs going forward

Those who opt for new regime will get a std deduction of ₹50k, irrespective of income

83% of you don’t have term insurance.

That’s why I compiled this thread to help you select the best term plan.

[A Thread 🧵]
What is term insurance?

A term life insurance gives your dependents a lump sum in the event of your passing. It’s crucial for your family's finances.

I’ve partnered with @joinditto to bring you a guide to select the best term plan.

There’s a few important factors to look at.
1) Policy duration : For starters, a term plan is the most effective when your absence deals a financial blow to your family.

So buy a term plan for the period in which your family isn't able to fend off for themselves.
