Standard Deduction to New Tax Regime

"FM proposed to extend the benefit of the standard deduction to the new tax regime. Each salaried person with an income of ₹15.5 lakh or more will thus stand to benefit by ₹52,500"

is standard deduction is available for only those person whose gross salary is more than 15.5 Lakh?

If not, if my gross salary is Rs. 7.5 Lakhs then will my tax liability Zero as per New Tax Regime?


Expert please clarify, everyone is confused

Quick Summary
The discussion clarifies that the standard deduction benefit has been extended to the new tax regime for all salaried individuals, not just those earning over ₹15.5 lakh. This means even those with a gross salary of ₹7.5 lakh can benefit from the ₹50,000 standard deduction, potentially making their taxable income zero. The initial confusion stemmed from the Finance Minister's announcement, but the fine print confirms broader eligibility.

Standard deduction is available irrespective of salary range for new tax regime also as per Budget 2023.
Gross salary income upto 7.5L is tax free
50k Standard deduction (included)
Gross salary is not relevant but Gross total income is relevant for 7Lacs
As per wordings....only 15.5 plus will get standard deduction.....yet to conform fine print when released to be reffered
Standard deduction of Rs 52500 allowed only in new tax regime if salary is more than Rs 15.5 lakhs
Clarification......standard deduction of 50000 in new tax regime to be allowed to all salary earning irrespective of income of 15.5 plus or less....pl reffer memorandum of finance bill 23
Thanks for correcting sir.

I agree with Mahesh Shah sir 

Standard deduction is available for new tax regime also . No restriction based on the salary income
