2023 Industry Budget Forecast
- Stock Market
Investors: It is very difficult to categorize income from stock market trading.
Taxpayers are looking to adopt a single tax rate for long-term and short-term
assets and to equalize multiple ownership structures for different types of
assets.
- Banking Sector: In 2023, the banking industry forecasts
significant growth in capital lending. However, the company is more concerned
about the government's ambition to public sector banks (PSBs). Privatization of
public institutions would increase their operational efficiency and promote
broader financial inclusion in the country, experts say.
- Real Estate: Factors such as rising interest rates and
inflation are impacting the purchasing power of potential buyers. To combat
this, industry analysts have recommended increasing the tax-deductible limit on
mortgage interest rates from Rs 2 lakh to Rs 5lakh and extending the EEA
Section 80 benefits for another two years.
- Health Care: Faced with growing healthcare demands, the
Ph.D. The Chamber of Commerce has called for a 30-40% increase in the budgeted
health care budget.
- Electric Vehicles: The Association of Electric Vehicle
Manufacturers (SMEV) is promoting the promotion of electric vehicles and the
inclusion of light to heavy-duty commercial vehicles in electric mobility
promotion programs.
Employee budget projections for 2023.
Flat Rate Tax Change: The taxpayer wants his current basic
allowance ofRs.2.5 lakh will be increased to Rs.5 lakh under both tax regimes.
The current threshold of Rs.10 lakh for the 30% tax bracket may also be raised
to Rs.20 lakh.
Increased Section 80C and 80D Limits: Section 80C is an
important deduction used by taxpayers. The existing threshold of Rs. 1.5 lakh
will be raised to Rs. 2.50 lakh, an increase in taxpayer disposable income.
Section 80D allows him to claim a deduction of up to Rs25000 on health insurance
premiums. This barrier is Rs50000 for the elderly. The government grants tax
incentives by raising the previous base of the
Rs.25,000/Rs.50,000 to Rs.50,000/Rs 1 lakh, respectively.
- Standard Deduction: Both tax regimes may increase the
standard deduction limit from Rs.50,000 to Rs.1,00,000. Since opening, medical
expenses and gas bills have increased significantly. As a result, there is a
compelling case for him to raise the standard deduction cap from Rs.50,000 to
Rs.1 lakh
- Mortgage Interest
Rate: The taxpayer can now deduct his mortgage interest rate up to Rs Rs.2
lakh. This cap may be reconsidered as PMI has risen sharply in recent months as
a result of RBI repo rate volatility.
- Surcharge rate: The higher tax bracket of Rs.5 crore is
charged an effective tax rate of 42.744%. This accounts for a significant
amount of a person's income. This rate should be rationalized to ensure that
taxpayers receive a higher net income and that there is no investment outflow
from the country. This also appeals to the wealthy.
- Improvements in other deductions: Increases in thresholds
for Section 80TTA (Savings Interest Deduction), 80EEA (Home Mortgage Interest),
and 80EEB (Electric Vehicle Loans) are also foreseen. Currently, you can deduct
Rs 10,000 to save bank interest. The current peg to 80EEB could be extended by
two years to boost the electric vehicle sector.
- Childcare and Dormitory Fees: Given the increase in
education costs, it is appropriate to raise the cap to Rs. 1,000 and Rs. 3,000
per month per child (up to 2 children).
