The Budget 2016 applicable to the Salaried Persons in Income Tax
The Budget 2016 having high expectations was released by Mr. Arun Jaitley, Finance Minister of the new Modi government on the 28th of February 2016. Many people whom I met post budget had the same view that it did not meet their expectations. However, I feel that mainly this reaction was because the slab rates were not changed or to be precise the slab rates were not Increased. Face the fact, Slab rate for F.Y. 2016-17 cannot be increased further, there is no room for it, as it will not only decrease the government's revenue but will also hamper the economy in a very bad way. the best way was to channelize the fund from governments revenue to some government and Economy helping funds, investments, etc; which Mr. Jaietly knew very well and hence he introduced more Deductions and also raised Limits of the deductions. Just wait and have trust on Government the 4th and 5th year of the Modi Government will be a Golden Era for India's Economy... I can Speak on this more but for now, let's bring our mind horses back on the Topic "TDS or Taxation on Income From Salaries for F.Y. 2016-17".
