If you have switched your job in the middle of the financial year, you will have to provide details of your previous salary earned along with tax deductions to the new employer through Form 12B. When you submit your Form 12B, your  the current employer can deduct the correct amount of TDS or Tax Deducted at Source from your salary. Every new employee has to submit Form 12B to their new employer along with proofs of all the investments made before 31st March.

In 2017, Mr.A  had taken a home loan for buying a home in Delhi. The home loan amount was 15 Lakh tenure was 20 years and EMI was Rs.14976. He got transferred to Mumbai before two years.

Budget 2018 though did not change the broad tax slabs but made some changes in the tax exemptions. One of them was the reintroduction of Standard Deduction for salaried and pensioners. From FY 2018-19 (AY 2019-20) all salaried and pensioners would be eligible for the standard deduction of Rs 40,000. However, as they say, the devil lies in details. With the introduction of the standard deduction, the finance minister has removed two popular tax deductions which were available for salaried: Transport Allowance of Rs 19,200 and Medical Reimbursement of Rs 15,000. So, the net impact of the standard deduction for salaried would only be Rs 5,800 (40,000 – 19,200 – 15,000). However, as pensioners did not have these allowances standard deduction for them is really good news.

1. There has been no change in the income tax slabs for the Financial Year 2016-17 & Assessment Year 2017-18.

2. For people with net taxable income below Rs 5 lakh, the tax rebate has been increased from Rs 2,000 to Rs 5,000 u/s 87A. This would benefit people who have net taxable income between Rs 2.7 Lakhs to Rs 5 Lakhs.

4. Tax Exemption u/s 80GG (for rent expenses who do have HRA component in salary) has been increased from Rs 24,000 to Rs 60,000 per annum. This is a good move to align the exemption amount with today’s rent and keep the section relevant.
