New Tax Regime

  • ₹4 lakh tak income generally tax-free hai.

Old Tax Regime

  • Below 60 years → ₹2.5 lakh

  • Senior citizen → ₹3 lakh

  • Super senior citizen → ₹5 lakh

Lekin yaad rakhiye:

👉 “Tax nahi lag raha” ka matlab hamesha “ITR file nahi karna” nahi hota.

To ITR file karna mandatory ho sakta hai.

Aur agar refund lena hai, tab bhi ITR file karna padega.
