Expectations of common man are high from the Narendra Modi government ahead of the Union Budget 2019 India. Middle-class income tax payers are hoping that like Interim Budget 2019, the upcoming Union Budget 2019 will also put a smile on their faces by providing Income Tax relief. In Interim Budget 2019 on February 1, the Modi government provided rebate relief to individuals earning up to Rs 5 lakh. Apart from that, with the income tax relief individuals with income up to Rs 6.5 lakh would not have to pay any tax provided they have investments in provident funds and prescribe equities.
