Government Employees often complain about the taxes on their salaries, but now this problem has been resolved for many government employees getting per month salary Rs. 100,000 or less or aggregate Rs. 1,200,000 per year. Now, these will be exempt from tax. That will also give these employees advantage of getting an additional payment that otherwise was being deducted as income tax from salary.

Here is the fresh Income Tax Rates Chart on Salary as proposed in the Budget 2018-19:
