“A big relief on reassessment and reopening of returns filed for earlier years, which has been reduced to 6 years as opposed to 10 years earlier, including in search cases. LTCG on shares has been increased from 10% to 12.5%. The period for non-financial assets to qualify as LTCG is brought down to 2 years. Lowering of LTCG rate on sale of land/gold/unlisted shares to 12.5% in place of 20% is beneficial even though indexation is removed - overall will benefit most taxpayers," said Sweta Kochar, Founder & Partner, PKC Management Consulting around the Budget reactions pertaining to personal tax

The thrust to agriculture productivity, infrastructure, climate transition and rationalization of capital gains taxation regime are the deeper facets of the transformation that Budget seeks to achieve.

Income Tax Budget 2024 LIVE: Expert take budget

Manikandan. S, Tax Expert, ClearTax

The budget has focused well on key areas for India’s development viz, infrastructure, housing, manufacturing, job creation, skill development, and employment. The initiative to reimburse employers towards EPFO contributions for additional employees will boost job creation. The initiative to provide internship support to focus on employment and skill development is a boost for the youth. This will help to bridge the skill gap and give the students first-hand practical exposure thereby increasing their preparedness to join the workforce. Overall, the Budget has ticked all the green boxes to align with the vision of Viksit Bharat.

On the taxes front, abolishing angel tax is a very bold move and will prove to be a game-changer for start-ups giving more liquidity in their hands; this step will also contribute in reducing litigation and tax uncertainty. This move will make the start-up space more appealing and encourage investors to fearlessly invest in start-ups.

On the personal taxes front, the biggest respite has come in the form of rationalisation of re-assessment of reassessment procedures. After a considerable back and forth, the time limit reassessment has been reduced from current 10 years to 6 years. Along with this, extending the scope of certificate for nil/ lower certificate is a welcome move removing the additional compliance burden and facilitate the ease of doing business.

Increasing standard deduction under the new regime will provide relief to the tax-payers and boost adoption of the new tax regime. This is also in-line with the government’s aim of a simplified tax regime. Lastly, the rationalisation of capital gains taxation with respect to both holding period and rates is welcome although the cut-off date for implementation may be a cause for confusion to several tax payers.

Lastly, the Vivaad se Vishwaas scheme will bring much needed respite to resolve pending litigation at various levels and help in quicker disposal of long pending litigation.

Income Tax Budget 2024 LIVE: Expert take on FM announcements on taxation

Atul Puri, Managing Partner and Co-Founder at SW India

In order to rationalize and simplify the taxation of capital gains & provide benefit to the middle and lower-income classes of people, following changes / amendments were made:

• The Government of India has increased the short-term capital gains tax under provisions of section 111A of the Act on STT paid equity shares, units of equity oriented mutual fund and unit of a business trust to 20% from the present rate of 15% as the benefit from such low rate is flowing largely to high-net-worth individuals.

Other short-term capital gains (on all other financial assets and non-financial assets) shall continue to be taxed at applicable rate.

• The long-term gains tax on all financial and non-financial assets will be taxed at 12.5 per cent for the financial year 2024-25. This rate earlier was 10% for STT paid listed equity shares, units of equity-oriented fund and business trust under section 112A and for other assets it was 20%.

• Further, the government aims to provide benefit to the middle and lower-income classes of people through its proposal of increasing the limit of exemption of capital gains u/s 112A to 1.25 lakh per year, from the previous value of 1 lakh per year.

• For sake of simplification, the holding period for all listed securities is proposed to be 12 months and for all other assets, it shall be 24 months.

Income Tax Budget 2024 LIVE Updates: Hike in securities transaction tax (STT) on F&O from 0.01% to 0.02% and long-term capital gains tax (LTCG) from 10% to 12.5% is a negative for investors, says expert

Arpit Jain, Joint MD, Arihant Capital Markets, said, “The hike in securities transaction tax (STT) on F&O from 0.01% to 0.02% and long-term capital gains tax (LTCG) from 10% to 12.5% is a negative for investors. The street expected a level playing field for domestic and foreign investors by taxing gains from equities for foreign institutions. Instead, LTCG was hiked, which disappointed market players."

“However, the reduction in fiscal deficit is estimated to be 4.9% from 5.1%, and the target of 4.5% for next year is very good for the Indian economy in the long run. The 4.9% fiscal deficit translates to the borrowing target coming down to 1.4 lakh crore compared to the estimated 15.43 lakh crore for FY24."

Sagar Sinha, Corporate Trainer, and Business Coach pointed out the increase in the security transaction tax on futures and options as a significant move with multi-dimensional impacts on the market. He cautioned that higher transaction costs could lead to less efficient markets due to the increased cost of arbitrage, potentially diminishing the effectiveness of price discovery in futures and options markets. As a result, institutional investors might extend their hedging and trading activities to other markets or instruments to avoid the higher STT in the domestic market.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has announced an increase in the standard deduction from 50,000 to 75,000, alongside adjustments to the tax slabs under the New Tax Regime (NTR). These changes are set to provide individual taxpayers with an annual tax saving of up to 17,500 under the NTR.

The Old Tax Regime remains unchanged in the Union Budget 2024-25. The enhancements in the NTR are part of the government's ongoing effort to make this simplified, exemption-free regime more attractive to salaried taxpayers. The aim is to encourage more taxpayers to switch to the NTR, which has been positioned as a straightforward alternative to the traditional tax system.

Income Tax Budget 2024 LIVE: Incentives to employee and employer with respect to the EPFO contribution

Income Tax Budget 2024 LIVE: EPFO finds a place in the 2024-25 budget, and its function is probably also linked to education and employment. Therefore, this 1.48 lakh crore, along with the 3,000 monthly reimbursem*nt scheme, becomes a massive public investment in human resources.

Siddharth Maurya, Founder & Managing Director of Vibhavangal Anukulakara Private Limited

This approach finds a comfortable place in the globally practiced integration of social security with skill development. Coupling the EPFO contribution to new employment, the Government would be using Social Security measures as a lever for job creation. Result-oriented continuation of Schemes of Interim Budget will hint that perennial vision exists towards Workforce Development, which must in principle proceed to address fundamental challenges like Youth Unemployment and Underemployment. This policy therefore creates a win-win situation for both employers and employees, possibly leading to accelerated economic growth and improvement in the overall quality of employment in India through increased participation in the formal sector.

Rural demand for two-wheelers and tractors should get a leg-up from the allocation of 1.52 lakh crore for agriculture and allied activities. Additionally, demand for tippers and construction equipment will be spurred because of infrastructure development projects in Bihar and Andhra Pradesh.

Capex in the first two months of this fiscal was down 14.4% on-year. So, the government’s budgeted target of 11.1 lakh crore means capex will have to grow at a 23.9% clip for the rest of this fiscal.

The increased capex assistance of 1.5 lakh crore to states this fiscal – up from 1.3 lakh crore announced during interim budget – will be salutary
