Union Budget 2025 : Proposed Income Tax Cuts for Middle Class in India
Government Considers Tax Cuts
Union Budget 2025 – Guess what? The government in India is thinking about cutting income tax for people who make up to Rs 15 lakh a year! They want to help out the middle class and get people spending more money to help the economy.
How It Could Help You
If you live in a city and feel like you’re always spending a lot of money just to get by, this could be good news for you. If you make between Rs 3-15 lakh a year, you could see your tax rate go down to between 5% and 20%. People who make more than that would still have to pay 30%.

Two Tax Systems
Right now, there are two different tax systems in India. One is the old system that lets you get exemptions for things like housing rentals and insurance. The other system, introduced in 2020, has slightly lower rates but doesn’t allow as many exemptions.
What’s Next
The government hasn’t decided yet how big the tax cuts will be. They’ll make a decision closer to the budget announcement on February 1. The finance ministry hasn’t said anything about it yet.
Why It Matters
Having more money in the hands of the middle class could help boost the economy, which has been growing slowly. People are feeling the pinch of high food prices, and that’s making them buy less stuff like soap, shampoo, and even cars and bikes.
Political Pressure
The government is also feeling pressure from the middle class because of high taxes. People’s wages aren’t going up as fast as prices are, so they’re struggling to make ends meet.
