Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the Union Budget 2024-25. Earlier that day, Sitharaman met with President Droupadi Murmu before heading to Parliament. This marked Sitharaman’s seventh consecutive budget, surpassing the late Morarji Desai’s record of six consecutive budgets.

Enhanced Family Pension Deduction:
Higher Deduction for Pension Scheme Contributions:
Incentives for International Financial Services Centre (IFSC):
Reduced Tax Rate for Foreign Companies:
Share Premium Tax Exemption:

These changes are designed to provide financial relief, simplify tax compliance, and foster a more attractive environment for investment and employment.
