Budget 2025: What Is Standard Deduction And How It Benefits Taxpayers

The article from NDTV discusses the concept of standard deduction in the context of the Indian Union Budget 2025. Standard deduction is a fixed amount that salaried individuals can claim as a deduction from their taxable income, simplifying the tax filing process by eliminating the need for detailed expense documentation. Currently set at Rs 50,000, this deduction helps reduce the taxable income of employees, thereby lowering their tax liability. The article explains how this deduction benefits taxpayers by providing a straightforward tax relief mechanism, especially beneficial for those with lower incomes or those who do not have significant expenses to claim. It also touches upon the potential adjustments to this amount in the upcoming budget, considering inflation and changes in economic conditions, which could further influence taxpayers' financial planning.
