What is an Income Tax Slab?
In India, the Income Tax applies to individuals based on a slab system, where different tax rates are assigned to different income ranges. As the person’s income increases, the tax rates also increase. This type of taxation allows for a fair and progressive tax system in the country. The income tax slabs are revised periodically, typically during each budget. With the upcoming Budget 2025, there are many expectations for changes in tax slabs to further adjust for current economic conditions.
