There was nothing much in the Union Budget 2015-16, which will significantly benefit individual tax payers. Here are a few ways in which you may end-up paying marginally lower income tax than last year.
Benefits on Health Insurance
While
benefits on health insurance premium paid gave you tax benefits to the tune of
Rs 15,000 until the last year, from financial year 2015-16 you can claim tax
benefits up to a sum of Rs 25,000 for health insurance premium paid.

place of work, will get enhanced to Rs 1600. This means your employer must

it very difficult to commute in Rs 800 and the tax allowance had not been
touched for years.

Rs 30,000. For very senior citizens an amount of Rs 50,000 spent on medical
bills is now tax exempt.
