The government is considering personal tax relief measures, such as increasing the standard deduction and adjusting tax slabs in the new tax regime, to boost consumption.
Two main proposals are being evaluated: raising the standard deduction limit from ₹75,000 and adjusting tax slabs, potentially extending the 20% tax bracket or raising the 30% tax rate threshold.
By increasing disposable income, these tax breaks are expected to lead to enhanced consumer spending, which is vital for economic recovery and can boost tax and GST collections.
Final decisions on the tax relief measures will be made closer to the budget date, with senior officials from the Finance Ministry and PMO expected to finalise proposals in the coming weeks.
Economic growth is projected to slow down to 6.4% in 2024-25, the lowest since the pandemic, indicating a slowdown in consumer spending. Tax relief is seen as a way to stimulate the economy.
