I want to know what are the tax benefits we can take in the New Tax Slab? If I opt new Tax slab were 5 Lakhs Income we have to pay No Tax for April 2020 To March 2021. Is there any Income Tax benefits we can Take above 5 Lakhs? 

Ans: Hi Prasanna
While the increase in limit from Rs. 5 Lakhs to Rs. 7 Lakhs is merely to accomodate the lower income segment and does not really make a difference to the highest tax bracket individuals. In this context, earlier, individuals whose income did not exceed Rs. 5 Lakhs had to pay Nil tax whether or not they opted for the new regime. The budget proposals has enhanced this limit to Rs. 7 Lakhs for individuals who opt for new tax regime but the earlier limit of Rs. 5 Lakhs would remain for individuals who opt for the old regime.

The slab rates for new tax regime have been tweaked to provide a small reduction in the tax liability as compared to the previous year.

Also, standard deduction benefit that was not available to an individual opting for new tax regime has now been allowed.

All in all, opting for new tax regime may now be beneficial.

Ans: The tax slabs of >15L is itself very broad and your benefits depend on what sections of Income Tax Act are you taking benefit of like 80C, 80G, 80D, 80E, 24B, and HRA.
