Multi-Year Salary FAQs

Why are FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27 slab rates identical?
Budget 2026 made no changes to slab rates. The IT Act 2025 takes effect from FY 2026-27 but retains the same slab structure introduced in Budget 2025. Only the legal framework and section numbers change — substantive provisions remain identical.
What's the key difference: FY 2024-25 vs FY 2025-26?
Major Budget 2025 changes: (1) Basic exemption raised ₹3L → ₹4L. (2) New slab introduced at ₹20-24L = 25%. (3) 87A rebate raised from ₹7L (₹25K) → ₹12L (₹60K). (4) Marginal relief now applies just above ₹12L (up to about ₹12.70L taxable). Standard deduction stays at ₹75,000.
When does IT Act 2025 actually apply?
The Income Tax Act, 2025 becomes effective on 1 April 2026. It applies to:
• Tax Year 2026-27 (i.e., FY 2026-27, AY 2027-28) onwards
• All ITR filings for FY 2026-27 onwards

For FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27), the existing IT Act 1961 still applies (last year of the old Act).
How is surcharge calculated?
Surcharge is calculated on the income tax (before cess). Tiers: ₹50L-₹1Cr = 10%, ₹1Cr-₹2Cr = 15%, ₹2Cr-₹5Cr = 25%, ₹5Cr+ = 37% (old regime only — new regime caps at 25%). Marginal relief ensures that the increase in tax + surcharge over the amount payable at the threshold does not exceed the income earned above the threshold.
What's marginal relief in 87A rebate?
For FY 2025-26: If your taxable income is just above ₹12L (say ₹12.20L), without marginal relief you'd suddenly owe ₹63,000 in tax (jumping from 0). Marginal relief ensures you pay only the EXCESS over ₹12L. So at ₹12.20L taxable income, you pay only ₹20K (the excess) plus cess. It stops mattering at about ₹12.70L taxable income (₹12,70,588), where slab tax becomes lower than the excess.
Can I claim home loan interest in new regime?
Limited: For self-occupied house, Section 24(b) interest is NOT allowed in new regime. For let-out/rented house, the interest is allowed (without the ₹2L cap) — but only against rental income (not other income). This is the same rule under IT Act 2025.
Are NRIs entitled to 87A rebate?
NO. Section 87A rebate is available ONLY to resident individuals (and same under Section 156 of IT Act 2025). NRIs cannot claim the ₹60,000 rebate even if income is below ₹12L. This is a long-standing rule preserved in both Acts.
