How in the new tax rates there is no tax till 7 lakhs income as is claimed by government. Please clarify

Sir, How can she say No income tax upto 7 lakhs when different slabs are given for income above 3 lakhs ?

According to the New Tax regime, the tax slab for 3 to 6 lakhs attract 5% income tax. Then how can we say that a person who earns 7 lakhs need not pay tx?

If income upto 7 lakh is exempted from income tax, then why is there tax calculation table/slabs starting from 3 Lakhs

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has announced that there will be no income tax for those earning up to Rs 12 lakh. But in the same breath she said that... Those earning up to Rs 4 lakh per annum will pay nil tax Those earning between Rs 4 lakh to Rs 8 lakh will have to pay income tax of 5 per cent Those earning between Rs 8 lakh to Rs 12 lakh will have to pay income tax of 10 per cent Those earning between Rs 12 lakh to Rs 16 lakh will have to pay income tax of 15 per cent Those earning between Rs 16 lakh to Rs 20 lakh will have to pay income tax of 20 per cent Those earning between Rs 20 lakh to Rs 24 lakh will have to pay income tax of 25 per cent, and Those earning between Rs 24 lakh will have to pay income tax of 30 per cent. Confused why one will have to pay tax at all if there is no income tax for those earning up to Rs 12 lakh per annum?
