      According to Union Budget 2023-24, consider the

      following statements regarding the Income Tax:   1. It is proposed to increase the rebate limit to Rs 7 lakh in the both tax regime. 2. It is proposed to change the tax structure in only the new tax regime by reducing the number of slabs to six. 3.

      A 1 only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 1 and 2 only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 2 and 3 only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 1 and 3 only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 1, 2 and 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      It is proposed to increase the rebate limit to Rs 7 lakh in the new tax regime. Thus, persons in the new tax regime, with income up to Rs 7 lakh will not have to pay any tax.   The second proposal relates to middle-class individuals. I had introduced, in the year 2020, the new personal income tax regime with six income slabs starting from 2.5 lakh.   I propose to change the tax structure in this regime by reducing the number of slabs to five and increasing the tax exemption limit to 3 lakh. Hence, it is not related to indirect tax.
