Undivided Family (HUF) taxpayers to apply lower tax rates as per a new tax regime. Whereas the current slab rates, surcharge and health and education cess remain unchanged. The new tax regime is optional. Individuals who opt to claim available exemptions/ deductions would be taxed as per the existing rates.

The effective tax rate for individuals with taxable income up to Rs 5 lakh

REDUCTION OF STATUTORY PF CONTRIBUTION FOR MAY-JUL 2020 MAY-JUL 2020 Government has reduced statutory EPF contribution of private sector employers
and employees from current mandated 12% to 10% for next 3 months. The EPF cut
will be applicable for the month of June, July and August 2020. However, for
government PSUs the employers contribution will remain at 12% but PSU
employees can pay 10%. For all employees covered under the EPF Scheme, the
rate of employer¿s and employee¿s contribution is 12% of monthly basic pay.
Reduction in the employee's contribution from 12% to 10% may increase the
take home salary or the cash-in-hand of the employee.
