Your Case: 12 LPA Salary
- If You Are Salaried:
Since you are earning 12 lakhs per annum and the tax-free limit for salaried individuals is 12.75 lakhs, your entire salary falls below the threshold. Result: No income tax.
- If You Are Non-Salaried:
For non-salaried individuals, the tax-free limit is 12 lakhs. Since your salary is exactly 12 lakhs, you again fall at the top end of the tax-free range. Result: No income tax.
Conclusion
Regardless of whether you are salaried or not, with a 12 LPA income, you will not pay any income tax under the new Budget 2025 scheme.
