The discussion clarifies the Basic Exemption Limit following the Union Budget 2025. While income up to ₹4 lakh is taxed at nil, this doesn't necessarily mean ₹4 lakh is the Basic Exemption Limit. The limit remains ₹2.5 lakh for the old tax regime and ₹3 lakh for the new tax regime. Form 15G can be used to avoid TDS on dividends if income falls below the relevant threshold.
If income is under Basic Exemption Limit one can submit Form 15G to avoid TDS on dividend given by a company if it crosses threshold. As per Union Budget tax on RS 0 to RS 4 LAC is NIL. Does it mean 4 LAC is Basic Exemption Limit? or is it still 2.5 LAC?
