Invest if you have risk appetite and 7-year horizon
Business Standard
|February 06, 2025
About three-fourth of taxpayers filed their income-tax returns for 2023-24 under the new regime.
Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman's decision in Budget 2025 to increase the tax-free income threshold to ₹12 lakh (₹12.75 lakh for salaried taxpayers) under the new regime is expected to drive more individuals away from the old regime. While this may reduce the demand for tax-saving instruments like Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS), these funds remain an attractive option for the minority sticking with the old regime.
Consult a tax professional to determine which regime is beneficial for you after this year's Budget changes. If the old regime still works, calculate the tax-saving contributions you already make. "Assess your Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) contributions, insurance premiums, and other deductions. Invest in ELSS only if you fall short of the ₹1.5 lakh limit under Section 80C," says Rajani Tandale, senior vice-president of mutual funds, 1 Finance.
