Good News For Taxpayers! Now, You Can Claim Tax Rebate Under Section 87A; Eligibility, Benefits, How To Claim?

The article from Goodreturns discusses the benefits of Section 87A of the Income Tax Act in India, which provides a tax rebate for individuals with an annual income up to Rs 5 lakh. This section allows eligible taxpayers to claim a rebate of up to Rs 12,500, effectively reducing their tax liability to zero if their total income does not exceed the specified limit. To be eligible, one must be a resident individual with a taxable income within the threshold. The article outlines how this rebate can be claimed by filing an Income Tax Return (ITR) and selecting the appropriate tax regime, either the old or new tax regime, where the new regime automatically applies the rebate if conditions are met. It also mentions that this rebate is not available for Hindu Undivided Family (HUF), Association of Persons (AOP), or Body of Individuals (BOI). The piece emphasizes the importance of understanding one's tax slab and the potential benefits of this section in reducing tax burdens for lower and middle-income groups.
