Budget 2023: Demystifying new tax regime

In the last full year Budget before Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeks a third term, the government has announced a slew of measures aimed at appeasing India's middle class.

The finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman proposed various changes in the new tax regime to make it more popular. Out of five major announcements made under personal tax, proposals have been made for salaried individuals opting for new tax regime, change in tax slab rates and introduction of standard deduction.
