How many tax slabs have been proposed in the new alternative scheme of Income tax announced in Union Budget 2020-21 ?

  • A.5
  • B.6
  • C.7
  • D.8

Answer: C

The new scheme proposed 7 slabs.

The optional new tax regime announced in the Union Budget 2020-21 had these rates on income: up to Rs 2.5 lakh, nil; Rs 2.5-5 lakh, 5%; Rs 5-7.5 lakh, 10%; Rs 7.5-10 lakh, 15%; Rs 10-12.5 lakh, 20%; Rs 12.5-15 lakh, 25%; and above Rs 15 lakh, 30%.

Counting the nil band, that makes seven slabs. Answering 6 counts only the slabs that carry tax, and 5 and 8 match no version of the scheme.
