💡 Quick Takeaway: Gross salary up to ₹12,75,000 results in ₹0 income tax for salaried employees.

Under the revised Budget 2025 slabs (FY 2025-26), salaried individuals receive a ₹75,000 standard deduction, reducing a ₹12.75 Lakh salary to ₹12,00,000 net taxable income. Because Section 87A provides a full rebate (up to ₹60,000) on taxable income up to ₹12 Lakhs, the total tax payable is NIL. Built-in marginal relief also protects incomes slightly above ₹12 Lakhs.
