Year Ender 2025: The last month of December is going on. And with this the year 2025 is moving towards its end. This year, many such rules were changed by the government for employed people. Which came as a big relief for them. Everyone understands the importance of tax saving in today’s salary-life and this is why the changes of 2025 are having a direct impact on people’s pockets.
From income tax slab to GST structure and toll charges, the changes in all three have made the financial planning of the middle class lighter and easier. Apart from this, as the year went on, the government also made major changes regarding gratuity. Know what reliefs have been provided this year.
Big change in income tax
The biggest change the government made this time. He remained in the income tax regime. Under the new system, the basic tax-free limit was increased from Rs 7 lakh to Rs 12 lakh. On top of this, the standard deduction of Rs 75,000 given to employed people should be added. So the total tax-free limit directly reaches Rs 12.75 lakh.
The income tax which was deducted after the increase in salary, will now be completely saved in the pocket. This makes it much easier to make plans like EMI, investment, insurance or savings. This change is especially a relief for those people whose package is between Rs 10 to 13 lakh and who earlier had to pay heavy tax.
GST expenditure became lighter
The second major part of tax reforms was GST 2.0, which made everyday purchases more affordable. GST slab has been limited to only two categories instead of the earlier four categories. Now the duty on goods will be either 5 percent or 18 percent. Leaving aside the luxury category, tax has been reduced on about 413 items coming in the basket of the common consumer. Car buyers have also got a big benefit. Petrol cars up to 1200 cc, diesel cars up to 1500 cc and bikes up to 350 cc now attract only 18 percent GST instead of 28 percent.

Relief in toll
Changes in toll tax have made road travel very cheap. The new annual Fastag pass is available for only Rs 3000 and with this, around 200 toll plazas can be crossed. This means that the average cost of crossing a toll remains around Rs 15. For people commuting daily, this expense has become much less than before.

The wait for gratuity is over
The change in gratuity rules under the Labor Code is another relief for the employed people. Earlier, to get gratuity, 5 years of service was required. But now after working for just one year the employee will become entitled for it. This will also provide huge benefits to employees changing jobs or starting their careers and their financial security will be strengthened.
