Budget 2025: Shreya Jaiswal Explains the Key Changes You Need to Know

The ongoing buzz around the ₹12 lakh tax-free income is quite real, but financial expert Shreya Jaiswal highlights some other game-changing updates in the Budget 2025 that you shouldn't really miss! Let's dive into the key revisions that could highly impact your finances.

1. Higher TDS Limit on Rent – More Savings for Tenants!

Earlier, if you had paid rent above ₹2.4 lakhs per year, a 10% TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) was always applicable. But in Budget 2025, this limit has been increased to ₹6 lakh, reducing the tax deductions for many tenants and easing their rental payments.

2. Relief for Senior Citizens – Increased Interest Income Exemption-

Previously, senior citizens had to pay 10% TDS on interest earnings above ₹50,000 annually. The government has now significantly doubled the exemption limit to ₹1 lakh, allowing senior citizens to enjoy more tax-free earnings from their savings and fixed deposits.

3. Foreign Education Just Got Cheaper!-

Earlier, students paying for their education abroad faced a 0.5% Tax Collected at Source (TCS) on transactions exceeding ₹7 lakh. Budget 2025 has completely removed this charge, making overseas education much more affordable for Indian students.

Why These Changes Matter?-

More savings for renters – Less tax deducted means much more cash flow.
Better financial security for seniors – Higher exemptions allow them to earn more without the tax worries.
Education abroad becomes more accessible – A major relief for some students and parents who are managing their high tuition costs.
