The government is considering significant reforms to personal income tax rates, with a focus on cutting rates for low earners.

The upcoming budget is likely to be presented in Parliament in late July.

The reforms are part of an agenda to stimulate growth, revive demand, restart the investment cycle, and position India as a USD 5-trillion economy.
