THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF MICRO, SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES; AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT (KUMARI SHOBHA KARANDLAJE): (a) to (e): For the first time, the definition of ‘gig workers’ and ‘platform workers’ and provisions related to the same have been provided in the Code on Social Security, 2020 which has come into force on 21.11.2025. The Code provides for framing of suitable social security measures for gig workers and platform workers on matters relating to life and disability cover, accident insurance, health and maternity benefits, old age protection, etc. The Code provides for setting up a Social Security Fund to finance these welfare schemes. The Ministry of Labour and Employment had launched e-Shram portal on 26.08.2021 for creation of a Comprehensive Centralised National Database of Unorganised Workers including platform workers, migrant workers, etc. The e- Shram portal is meant to register and support the unorganised workers by providing them a Universal Account Number (UAN) on a self-declaration basis. The Ministry of Labour and Employment has also launched the e-Shram- ‘One-Stop-Solution’ that entails integration of different social security/welfare schemes at single portal i.e., e-Shram. This is envisaged to enable unorganised workers registered on e-Shram to access social security schemes and see benefits availed by them so far, through e-Shram. To maximise registration of platform workers on e-Shram portal, three 08.12.2025 642 nationwide special registration drives were held during the months of April, May and August-September, 2025 in collaboration with States and Union Territories. Multiple rounds of deliberations have been conducted with Aggregators, Knowledge Partners and Platform Workers Unions/Associations and State Government/UTs for formulating the social security framework for gig and platform workers.

SHRI KRIPANATH MALLAH: Will the Minister of FINANCE be pleased to state: (a) the distribution of tax exemptions and benefits between corporations and individual taxpayers during the last five years; and (b) the specific polices/measures that have been implemented by the Government to ensure that the middle-class is benefited more from tax exemptions? THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE (SHRI PANKAJ CHOUDHARY): (a): (i) The direct tax policy through Income-tax Act,1961 (‘the Act’), inter alia, provides for tax incentives to promote exports; balanced regional development; creation of infrastructure facilities; employment; rural development; scientific research and development; cooperative sector, encourage savings by individuals and donations for charity. The revenue impact of major tax incentives due to tax exemptions and benefits under the Act in respect of corporates and 08.12.2025 643 Individuals/HUFs from FY 2019-20 to FY 2023-24 are tabulated as under: Table 1: Revenue impact of major tax incentives Financial Year For Corporates (in Rs Crore) For Individuals/HUFs (in Rs Crore) 2019-20 94,109.83 1,55,429.45 2020-21 75,218.02 1,28,244.23 2021-22 96,892.39 1,68,566.30 2022-23 88,109.27 1,96,678.95 2023-24* 98,999.57 2,20,988.47 Total 4,53,329.08 8,69,907.40 Source: Receipt Budget of respective years *Total Revenue Impact for FY 2023-24 is projected revenue impact. (ii) The total revenue impact of major tax incentives for Individual/HUF taxpayers for last five years is Rs 8,69,907.40 Crores. In comparison, the total revenue impact of major tax incentives for corporate taxpayers for last five years is Rs 4,53,329.08 Crores. Therefore, it can be seen that the government has foregone huge revenue benefiting Individuals/HUFs taxpayers. (b): The New tax regime was introduced in the Budget 2020-21 to simplify, reduce and make it easy for complying with income tax provisions and also to provide significant relief to the middle-class taxpayers. About 75% of taxpayers have opted for the New tax regime. It is highlighted that one of the objectives of proposals regarding Direct taxes presented in the Budget 2025 was personal 08.12.2025 644 income tax reforms with special focus on middle class taxpayers. Some of the measures that would benefit middle class taxpayers are discussed as under.  Increase in basic exemption limit: Under the New tax regime introduced in the Budget 2020-21, the threshold total income limit exempt from income-tax i.e. ‘Nil’ income tax slab was upto Rs. 2.5 lakh, which was increased to Rs.3 lakh in the Budget 2023-24 and increased to Rs.4 lakh in the Budget 2025-26.  Rebate u/s 87A: In the Budget 2023-24, the income tax rebate limit was made applicable in the new tax regime. Accordingly, resident individual with total income up to Rs.7 lakh do not pay any income tax due to rebate under the new tax regime. The Budget 2025-26 further increased the rebate for the resident individual under the new tax regime so that they do not pay tax if their total income is up to Rs. 12 lakh (other than the special rate income). By increasing this limit to Rs.12 lakh, around one crore taxpayers who were earlier required to pay tax varying from Rs.20,000 to Rs.80,000 are now paying ‘Nil’ tax. This limit is Rs. 12.75 lakh for salaried tax payers, due to standard deduction of Rs. 75,000. Marginal relief as provided earlier under the new tax regime is also applicable for income marginally higher than Rs. 12 lakh.  Reduction in Income tax rates: There is a continuous decrease in the personal income tax rates in various income slabs since the introduction of new tax regime in the Budget 2020-21. In the last Budget 2025-26 the 08.12.2025 645 higher tax rate @30% made applicable to total income above Rs.24 lakh. Details of income tax rates slab-wise announced in the Budget 2020-21, Budget 2023-24, Budget 2024-25 (July,2024) and Budget 2025-26 are given in the enclosed Statement-I.  Increase in Standard deduction Limit: In the Budget 2023-24, the standard deduction of Rs 50,000/- was made available to the salaried persons opting for new tax regime. This limit was increased to Rs.75,000/- in the Budget 2024-25 (July,2024). Similarly, deduction on family pension for pensioners was enhanced from Rs.15,000/- to Rs.25,000/-in the Budget 2024-25(July,2024). This has provided relief to about four crore salaried individuals and pensioners.  Exemptions under New Tax regime: Taxpayers opting for New Tax regime can also avail benefit of certain exemptions which inter-alia include leave encashment upto Rs.25 lakh, increased deduction of employers contribution under NPS, some allowances received by salaried persons like daily allowance, conveyance allowance etc. and gratuity amount are given in the enclosed Statement-II.  Rationalisation of TDS/TCS provisions: The last Budget 2025-26 increased the limit for tax deduction at source in respect of certain income such as interest income for senior citizens and rental income etc. (are given in the enclosed Statement-III). Further, the Budget 2025-26 removed tax collected at Source (TCS) on remittances for education 08.12.2025 646 purposes where such remittance is out of a loan taken from a specified financial institution.  Tax exemption for Income from Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG): For investments in equities and mutual funds, long-term capital gains (gains made on assets held for more than a year) up to Rs 1.25 lakh per financial year are exempted from income tax.  Option of tax regimes: Though the New income tax regime was made the default tax regime in the Budget 2023-24, taxpayers have the option to avail the benefit of the old tax regime. Under the old regime, Individual/ HUF taxpayers are eligible to claim these exemptions/deductions and have a wide range of tax preferences available to them. Periodically, the Government has reduced tax burden of middle-class taxpayers through changes in income slab and tax rates. The tax rates under the new tax regime are comparatively lower than the tax rates in old regime for the respective income slabs. The structure in the last Budget would substantially reduce the taxes of the middle class and leave more money in their hands, boosting household consumption, savings and investment. As a result of proposals introduced in the Budget 2025-26, revenue of about ₹ 1 lakh crore in direct taxes will be forgone.
