What is this episode about?
In this episode of the Prime Podcast, Vidya Bala and Bhavana Acharya delve into the significant changes brought about by Budget 2025 to give you a comprehensive understanding of the new tax landscape.
With the changes brought in by Budget 2025, the New Tax Regime has emerged as a more compelling choice for taxpayers. You will understand how the enhanced zero tax slab combined with the 87A benefit for resident individuals, allows tax payers to retain a bigger share of their earnings.
While much attention has focused on benefits for the salaried middle class, this podcast will tell you how retirees stand to gain significantly from these changes. You will see how investment planning and cash flow management is more straightforward and one doesn’t need to take on more risk to be more tax efficient.
