Guys my ctc is 8.5 LPA could you please suggest which tax regime is best.. Assume I won't be taking any tax deductions.

Which regime is best best?

Seems like since last year the focus of government has shifted from actually making beneficial policies to enable innovation and growth of India to just collecting taxes blindly. 

They just want to harvest tax in as many ways possible and kill the middle class person.

First it was crypto. 

Then us salaried individuals started receiving notices. 

Then they levied 28% GST on online gaming. 

Now they are also checking proofs for HRA allowance and other stupid stuff which wasn't done before. 

I was wondering why there is a sudden increase in such incidents? Is the government hiding something? Are they running out of money?

Or are they just smoking weed just like us and making stupid rules?

This government’s primary intention is to collect more and more taxes in whatever mean’s possible. They don’t give a f**k about anything. And then will brag every month/quarter about record GST collection! This government is pathetic to say the least! No accountability and arrogance is at its peak. We have come to a point where we can’t even question the government otherwise you will be termed as anti national.

When your increment is equivalent to your proportional increase in income tax..it hurts

Founder

Hi, I have recently graduated and now I'm going to start my career as a software developer. Can you suggest me with resources  for managing finances along with taxes and how to do investments or guide me how I can manage my expenses by giving some tips?
 
My base is around 14Lpa. 
My rent is around 25kpm. And monthly necessary expenditure of around 15kpm.
I am not that well-versed with taxes also. I'm learning about them. Currently I invest 3k in MF every month.
I would like to your suggestions and advises for the same.

Personal Finance Tips for fresher

Congratulations - you're off to a great start! Thats a tidy income to start off with. 
  
 My advise, cut out all the noise and random friendly advise from all and sundry and keep it really really simple till you hit a 50L investment corpus. 
  
 0. Buy a Term Insurance (vanilla, no riders) for 2 Cr. Annual Premium. Till 65 years of age.  
 0. Buy a Health Insurance cover for 10L.  Annual Premium. 
 0. If your parents aren't insured, buy a family floater cover for them now.  15L. Annual Premium.  This may become impossible as they age. 
 1. Start a monthly SIP in a single Nifty50 Index Fund (UTI : HDFC / ICICI / Nippon / doesn't matter).  From your data I'd say put in ~40K per month. 
 2. Start a PPF account and maximise annual investment - 1.5L pa.  
 3.  Invest all bonuses / increase in salary in the same Index Fund.   
  
 Watch the magic of compounding begin.  You'll see the impact of laying this foundation only post 20 yrs.  
  
 If your salary (and as a result your SIP) doesn't change, you should hit 50L in ~7 years.  Faster if you get good salary hikes and appraisals. 
  
 When you hit 50L, diversify into other asset classes (SGB + Flexicap MF + Real Estate for own use).  Do not create clutter by adding MFs and complicate life.  Keep investments simple as you scale: 
  
 30% - Index Fund 
 30% - Flexicap 
 20% - Gold (demat) 
 20% - Debt (EPF/PPF) 
  
 Rebalance asset allocation annually. 
  
 Never invest or choose instruments for tax planning. Tax optimisation leads to suboptimal instrument choices with your money (Insurance / Debt / etc).

 Good luck!

Inspite of so many "better than earlier govts" reforms in the last 10 years...the govt hasnt done much needed reforms in the income tax regime.

The govt is doing a few good things like dissolving inept psu's, selling off entities like Air India (privatisation), etc.
But when and how  are we going to increase the tax base?? Why is govt failing to do so? It is high time we rationalise it. We cannot dream of becoming a prosperous country with such poor policies in place

Which tax regime is better

Old / New tax, Which regime is better

My research tells me old as my salary isn't a lot more than the 7 lakh tax slab, but my friend says new is better? Help

So if I'm willing to invest most of my salary in tax saving instruments, which tax regime to opt?

2 ques: 
-Is it possible to move to the old scheme to save taxes?
- Given my salary, what are the best avenues to save tax?
Thanks 🙏

Hey everyone, 

Thought of creating a daily post where we all can hang around and talk just about anything - without having a specific topic to discuss. 
Think of this like the Watercooler at your office. 

Look forward to hearing from y'all :)
