Hi faiz, the expectations from DTC are extremely high....

 

Various people are suggesting following tax slabs from DTC next year.. :

 

 

BASIC EXEMTION = RS. 5 LACS

10 % ON RS. 5 TO 10 LACS

20% ON RS. 10 TO 25 LACS

30% ON INCOME ON RS. 25 LACS ONWARDS

 

 

 

As such, such tax slabs are fictitious or rather just impossible.. Lets c what government has for COMMON PEOPLE
