Budget 2022 did not provide for any change in the standard deduction amount available to employees
and retirees. This will effectively mean that salaried individuals and retirees (whose pension is taxed
below the head salary) will continue to claim the same standard deduction amount in fiscal 2022-23 as
they did in fiscal 2021-22. They can claim Rs 50,000 as a standard deduction if they opt for the old tax
regime in the financial year 2022-23.
The amount available to apply for the standard deduction had
to increase due to the high cost of working from home for employees due to the
COVID-19 pandemic. The higher costs include higher internet connectivity,
higher mobile / phone bills, mobile etc.
A standard deduction of Rs 40,000 was introduced by 2018. Union Budget in place of the Rs 19,200 transportation allowance and Rs 15,000 medical reimbursement to facilitate compliance and reduce employee documentation. It offers direct deduction from gross salary up to a maximum of Rs 50,000 and does not require the employer to submit an invoice to claim it. Starting in fiscal 2019-20, the standard deduction has been increased to Rs 50,000.
