Budget 2019: Main changes in Income Tax Rules to the Salaried Persons for F.Y.2019-20

Increased Tax Rebate u/s 87A:

While creating the budget speech, minister aforesaid that folks with nonexempt financial gain of Rs 5000 would get the full tax rebate. many of us thought that he has modified the tax block. however, once the Budget document was out, the amendment was created within the Section 87A. From FY 2019-20 for people with nonexempt financial gain of Rs 5000 or less the tax rebate, would be lesser of liabilities or Rs 12,500 whichever is lower. Below is that the calculation:


                                               FY 2019-20
FY 2018-19
Taxable Income
5,00,000
5,00,000
Income Tax
12,500
12,500
Tax Rebate u/s 87A
12,500
0
Health & Education Cess @ 4%
0
500
Total Tax Payable
0
13,000

This would solely profit individuals with nonexempt financial gain below Rs five large integer. Had there been reduction within the tax block it'd have benefited each tax remuneration
Standard deduction redoubled from Rs 40,000 to Rs 50,000:
The standard deduction offered to Salaried & Pensioners are redoubled from Rs 40,000 to Rs 50,000. this might cut back the liabilities up to Rs 3,558 within the highest tax block.

No Tax on Notional income from Second House:

Until this year, if somebody had quite one house, he might show one house as self-occupied whereas all alternative homes must be either classified as rented (if it had been really rented) or deemed to be rented (if vacant or self-occupied). just in case of “deemed to be rented” the tax remunerator had to indicate notional income from those homes and pay taxes on the identical. From next yr FY 2019-20, currently you'll be able to have 2 homes as self-occupied.
This can be smart move as many of us must maintain 2 homes, one for self and alternative for dependents as well as oldsters, kids or domestic partner.

TDS threshold redoubled from Rs 10,000 to Rs 40,000 on Bank Interest financial gain
Threshold of deducting TDS on interest financial gain from Bank, Post workplace or co-operative deposit has been redoubled from Rs 10,000 to Rs 40,000.

Assumptive rate of octavo, you'll be able to deposit Rs five large integer in Bank fastened Deposit and not worry regarding TDS.We believe this can be nice move as many of us had to gratuitous bear TDS and file taxation returns of fill type 15G/H. however do bear in mind, that no TDS doesn't mean no tax. you continue to have to show the interest financial gain and pay tax if needed.


All the on top of changes would be effective from Apr one, 2019 and applicable from FY 2019-20 (AY 2020-21) forwards.
