Finance minister, Nirmala Sitharaman in her budget speech during February 2022 has announced some key changes to income tax rules. There has been a wide expectation to raise the income tax barrier from the current 2.5 lacs. Unfortunately, it wasn't a part of the this year's budget. Yet there was some key changes. Including the taxation of Crypto assets and PF. Let's look into these key changes?

In this any interest above a contribution of 2.5 Lac will be taxable by the government. Here the thing to note is only the interest is taxable not the contribution. Only the interest on the excess contribution above 2.5 lakhs. FM also mentioned this will only affect less than one percent of tax payers in India
