FAQ :

The RBI predicts that tax relief measures from the Union Budget 2025-26 and easing inflation will strengthen household consumption and investments.

The Union Budget 2025-26 has introduced a direct tax relief of Rs 1 lakh crore, primarily aimed at middle-class taxpayers.

The new tax regime's exemption threshold has been raised from Rs 7 lakh to Rs 12 lakh, and adjustments have been made across all income brackets.

The tax relief is expected to increase disposable incomes, which in turn should drive savings, investments, and consumption.

The capital expenditure-to-GDP ratio is projected to improve to 4.3% in 2025-26.

Favourable employment conditions, tax relief measures, moderating inflation, and robust agricultural output are expected to support strong household consumption.
