The new measures aim to reduce the tax burden, provide better access to credit, and enhance overall financial stability for middle-class families.<\/p><p><strong>1. No Income Tax on Earnings up to \u20b912.75 Lakh<\/strong><\/p><p>The biggest relief for the middle class is the exemption from income tax for individuals earning up to \u20b912.75 lakh under the new tax regime. This move allows more savings and enhances disposable income for salaried individuals.<\/p><p><strong>2. Revised Tax Slabs for Higher Savings<\/strong><\/p><p>The government has introduced a new tax structure to benefit the middle class:<\/p><ul><li><strong>\u20b90-4 Lakh<\/strong> \u2013 NIL<\/li><li><strong>\u20b94 Lakh &#8211; 8 Lakh<\/strong> \u2013 5%<\/li><li><strong>\u20b98 Lakh &#8211; 12 Lakh<\/strong> \u2013 10%<\/li><li><strong>\u20b912 Lakh &#8211; 16 Lakh<\/strong> \u2013 15%<\/li><li><strong>\u20b916 Lakh &#8211; 20 Lakh<\/strong> \u2013 20%<\/li><li><strong>\u20b920 Lakh &#8211; 24 Lakh<\/strong> \u2013 25%<\/li><li><strong>\u20b924 Lakh &amp; Above<\/strong> \u2013 30%<\/li><\/ul><p>With these revisions, an individual earning \u20b918 lakh annually will save \u20b970,000 in taxes, which significantly benefits the middle class.<\/p><p><strong>3. Capital Gains Tax Limit Extended to \u20b912.7 Lakh<\/strong><\/p><p>The capital gains tax exemption has been increased to <strong>\u20b912.7 lakh<\/strong>, ensuring that middle-class families investing in assets have more financial flexibility and lesser tax liability.<\/p><p><strong>4. Removal of TCS on Education Remittances<\/strong><\/p><p>To ease the financial burden on middle-class families supporting their children\u2019s education abroad, the government has removed the Tax Collected at Source (TCS) on educational remittances. This directly reduces expenses for those funding foreign education.<\/p><p><strong>5. Reduction in Compliance for Small Charitable Trusts<\/strong><\/p><p>Many middle-class individuals run or contribute to small charitable trusts. The compliance burden for these entities has been reduced, making it easier to manage social welfare contributions.<\/p><p><strong>6. Enhanced Kisan Credit Card Benefits<\/strong><\/p><p>Middle-class farmers and small-scale agriculturists will benefit from the expansion of the <strong>Kisan Credit Card (KCC) scheme<\/strong>, which now covers 7.7 crore farmers and provides a higher loan limit of \u20b95 lakh. This move ensures easier access to credit for agricultural activities.<\/p><p><strong>7. Increased Medical Education Seats for Future Generations<\/strong><\/p><p>To improve opportunities for middle-class students aspiring to enter the medical profession, the government has proposed 10,000 additional medical seats in institutes across India, with a total of 75,000 new seats over the next five years.<\/p><p><strong>8. Affordable Housing Benefits with SWAMIH Fund<\/strong><\/p><p>The government will complete 40,000 housing units under the SWAMIH Fund in 2025, ensuring middle-class families can access affordable homes without financial distress.<\/p><p><strong>9. Start-Up and MSME Loan Support<\/strong><\/p><p>For middle-class entrepreneurs and small business owners, term loans up to \u20b920 crore will be provided to MSMEs, enabling them to expand their businesses with financial support from the government.<\/p><p><strong>10. Relief in Cost of Essential Medicines<\/strong><\/p><p>The government has fully exempted 36 life-saving drugs from customs duty, making essential healthcare more affordable for middle-class families.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"penci-section penci-disSticky penci-structure-10 elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-be3ad1a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"be3ad1a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"penci-ercol-100 penci-ercol-order-1 penci-sticky-ct    elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a15d8f0\" data-id=\"a15d8f0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e5ce71f elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"e5ce71f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Download_Unlimited_Festival_Posts_Videos_WhatsApp_Stickers_Many_More\"><\/span>Download Unlimited Festival Posts, Videos, WhatsApp Stickers &amp; Many More<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<div style=\"display: flex; align-items: center; gap: 10px; justify-content: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.brandspot365&amp;hl=?utm_source=Seo&amp;utm_medium=intblog&amp;utm_campaign=union-budget-2025-26-blog-banner-promotions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"height: 30px; width: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/brands.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/playstore.png\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\"  \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/in\/app\/brands-live-marketing-tool\/id1565767273?utm_source=Seo&amp;utm_medium=intblog&amp;utm_campaign=union-budget-2025-26-blog-banner-promotions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"height: 30px; width: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/brands.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/appstore.png\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/brands.live\/?utm_source=Seo&amp;utm_medium=intblog&amp;utm_campaign=union-budget-2025-26-blog-banner-promotions\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"height: 30px; width: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/brands.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/website.png\" \/><\/a><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"penci-section penci-disSticky penci-structure-10 elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d1fe4b6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d1fe4b6\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"penci-ercol-100 penci-ercol-order-1 penci-sticky-ct    elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cceec46\" data-id=\"cceec46\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e512184 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e512184\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p>Budget 2025 offers <strong>substantial relief<\/strong> to the middle class by reducing tax liabilities, easing access to credit, and promoting education, healthcare, and housing benefits.
