New Tax Regime 2025: Big Changes Coming – Check New Exemptions and Updates

The government is gearing up to make the New Tax Regime (NTR) more appealing in the upcoming Budget 2025, potentially offering new exemptions to attract taxpayers.

Business News

Here’s everything you need to know about the expected changes and updates:

  1. EPF May Become Mandatory in the New Tax Regime

To encourage more people to adopt the New Tax Regime, the government is considering making Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) mandatory for all income groups. Currently, EPF enjoys tax benefits under Section 80C in the old tax system, with exemptions up to ₹1.5 lakh. However, it’s still unclear if similar benefits will be introduced under a new section or as an additional exemption.

Key Highlights:

•EPF could open new avenues for savings under the New Tax Regime.
•Mandatory contributions will ensure secure retirement planning for employees.

  1. Budget 2025 to Focus on Middle-Class Relief

The government aims to ease the financial burden on salaried individuals and taxpayers by:

•Announcing new tax exemptions.
•Providing more savings opportunities to increase disposable income.

  1. What Are the Current New Tax Regime Exemptions?

Recent updates to the New Tax Regime include:

•Basic exemption limit: Raised from ₹2.5 lakh to ₹3 lakh.
•Tax rebate threshold: Increased from ₹5 lakh to ₹7 lakh.
•Standard deduction: ₹50,000 for salaried individuals, making income up to ₹7.5 lakh tax-free.

•Tax rebate threshold: Increased from ₹5 lakh to ₹7 lakh.
•Standard deduction: ₹50,000 for salaried individuals, making income up to ₹7.5 lakh tax-free.

4.Why the New Tax Regime Faces Challenges

•Despite its simplicity, the New Tax Regime has some limitations:

•Lacks popular exemptions like Section 80C, HRA, and 80D.
Fewer saving incentives compared to the old tax system.

Proposed Solution:
The government plans to address these concerns by including EPF and similar investments in the New Tax Regime to encourage savings alongside spending.

  1. Secure Savings with EPF – A Game-Changer?

Making EPF mandatory for all taxpayers could significantly benefit salaried individuals. It ensures:

•Guaranteed returns and secure retirement savings.
•Tax benefits in line with the old system, if implemented in the New Regime.
Stay tuned for Budget 2025 updates to see how these changes can impact your finances. The government’s efforts to simplify and enrich the New Tax Regime could make it a preferred choice for taxpayers.
