Income uptoRs. 2 lakh Nil
Income above Rs. 2 lakh and uptoRs. 5 lakh 10 per cent

Income above Rs. 10 lakh 30 per cent
           
In another relief to the individual taxpayers, a deduction of uptoRs. 10,000 has been proposed for interest from savings bank accounts. This would help a large number of small taxpayers with salary incomes uptoRs. 5 lakh and interest from savings bank accounts uptoRs. 10,000 as they would not be required to file income tax returns.
         
It has also been proposed to allow deduction of Rs. 5,000 for preventive health check up.
