Mr Arun Jaitley,The Finance Minister of India Presented his first full fledged budget today (28 Feb 2015).  There were huge expectations from tax payers from the budget like increase in tax exemption slabs, Higher deductions on interest for housing loans etc.,  But the Finance Minister has chosen not to alter tax slabs during the budget.  Although he hinted about the possibility of revision of tax slabs, it may not be before next budget.

There are no changes in the tax slabs. Previous tax slabs will remain same.

In spite of huge expectations from individual tax payers for increase in the limit of 80C from existing 1.5 Lakhs to atleast 2 lakhs, No increase is made.  It must be appreciated that this limit is already increased in his last interim budget.  But there is more thought out deduction announced in the budget which is deduction of Rs 50,000 if invested in New Pension Scheme or NPS.  It almost works similar to exemption of 80C but can not be clubbed with other investments like PPF, Insurance Premium, ELSS Mutual Funds or even bank FD.  This is a sort of making people having disciplined investment for their pension scheme which is in fact a good move.  It augurs well for both Investors by rewarding them well in their golden years with pension and making investments available for the Nation.
Similarly, Health Insurance premium is increased from earlier 15000 rupees to 25000 and the same is increased from 20,000 to 30,000 in case of senior citizens.  This will augur well for the people who wish to take complete health plan and paying premiums more than 15000 per annum.
For senior citizen who are above 80 years thus not eligible for health insurance, Rs 30,000 deduction is allowed for medical expenditure. Deduction limit of Rs 60,000 on expenditure of specified diseases is enhanced to Rs 80,000 in the case of senior citizens.
Similarly Investments in Sukanya Samriddhi Scheme are eligible for deduction under section 80C of the income-tax and any both principal and interest will be exempted from tax.
