2025How is ₹5,00,000 taxed in India?
India has two tax regimes: the Old Regime (many deductions, higher rates) and the New Regime (lower rates, fewer deductions). The New Regime has been the default since FY2023-24.
Under the New Regime, incomes up to ₹3,00,000 are tax-free. A rebate under Section 87A means those with taxable income up to ₹7,00,000 pay zero tax effectively. A standard deduction of ₹75,000 (raised in Budget 2024) further reduces taxable income for all salaried employees.
Budget 2025 made the New Regime even more attractive: the 87A rebate now covers tax on income up to ₹12 lakh for salaried employees, meaning those earning up to approximately ₹12,75,000 (after ₹75,000 standard deduction) can pay zero tax.
A Health and Education Cess of 4% applies on the final income tax amount. EPF (Employee Provident Fund) contributions of 12% of basic salary are mandatory for most employees.
