The current Union Budget provides for tax rebates to each and every individual who is subjected to the payment of taxes in India, even those individuals whose income is more than Rs. 500,000. The earlier version of Section 88 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 did not allow any tax rebate to such individuals. Section 88 serves to abolish all tax rebates in India with regard to income from interests. The Union Budget provides tax rebates on a number of issues like rebate on the payment of premium on a medical insurance, or spending on the medical treatment of the tax payer or his family member, on the interest amount of a housing loan in case the specific house is used by the tax payer for residential purposes.
