Tax rates for Assessment Year 2021-22

The Finance Minister, Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman, has presented the Union Budget 2020-21 in the parliament on February 1, 2020. The whole Country was waiting for this budget with bated breath as it was expected that the Finance Minister would announce some tax cuts on personal taxation front considering the recent cuts in the corporate tax rates.

Overpassing everyone’s expectations, a new tax regime has been proposed for Individual, HUF and co-operative societies. Now they would have the option to either opt for the existing tax regime or claim all the deductions and exemptions under the Income Tax Act or else opt for the new scheme foregoing specified exemptions and deductions. The changes in tax rates are enumerated in below tables:-
