Budget 2019 effect: How you can earn tax-free Rs 10 lakh per annum

In a move to give relief to the middle class, Finance Minister Piyush Goyal announced in the Budget 2019 that individual taxpayers will get a full tax rebate for income earned up to Rs 5 lakh.

Previously, the income threshold on which rebate was given was Rs 3.5 lakh. Individuals will now get a benefit of Rs 12,500, up from Rs 2,500 earlier. This will benefit taxpayers only to the extent of an annual income of Rs 5 lakh. The basic exemption limit and tax-slabs remain the same.

Additionally, Piyush Goyal also announced an increase in standard deduction to Rs 50,000, up from Rs 40,000 earlier.

All the tax slabs also continue. In other words, if your taxable income is higher than Rs 5 lakh, you still pay tax at the existing income tax slabs.

To be sure, this is a rebate for those whose taxable incomes are up to Rs 5 lakh. The basic exemption limit of Rs 2.5 lakh - that is, no tax to be paid for those who earn an income of up to Rs 2.5 lakh - continues.

Interim Finance Minister Piyush Goyal has given some relief to the income taxpayers. Union Budget2019 has proposed to offer a tax rebate for individuals earning up to Rs 500,000. The rebate under Section 87A of the Income Tax Act has been enhanced to Rs 12,500 from Rs 2,500 earlier. The threshold has also been enhanced to income of Rs 5 lakh from Rs 3.5 lakh earlier. This will benefit taxpayers only to the extent of an annual income of Rs 5 lakh. The basic exemption limit and tax-slabs remain the same.

The last time basic exemption limit was raised by Rs 50,000 by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley while presenting Budget 2014. At that the time, the tax rates were left untouched.

Last year while presenting Budget 2018, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had re-introduced the standard deduction of Rs 40,000 in lieu of medical reimbursement and transport allowance. It was done with the intention to reduce administrative hassles for salaried individuals. In budget 2019, standard deduction too has been enhanced to Rs 50,000. The increase in basic exemption limit benefits all income taxpayers.

Vedanta plunges 18% as brokerages downgrade stock on its Anglo American investment

The touched a 52-week low of Rs 162.05. It touched an intraday high of Rs 180.50 and an intraday low of Rs 162.05.

Vedanta has reported a 21 percent on year decline in third quarter consolidated profit to Rs 1,574 crore due to lower commodity prices and shutdown of copper smelter at Tuticorin.

Revenue from operations during the quarter dropped 2.8 percent to Rs 23,669 crore compared to year-ago. The sequential profit was up 17 percent and revenue up 4 percent.

Revenue was lower mainly on account of shutdown of copper smelter at Tuticorin and lower commodity prices, partially offset by currency depreciation and higher volumes at Electrosteel and aluminium business," Vedanta said.

At operating level, EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) declined 11 percent year-on-year to Rs 5,953 crore, but sequentially EBITDA increased 13 percent and margin expanded 300 bps QoQ to 29 percent.

Dabur Q3 beats estimates, profit rises 10%, domestic volume growth at 12.4%

FMCG company Dabur India has reported healthy numbers for October-December quarter as earnings beat analyst expectations on Thursday. Consolidated profit grew by 10.2 percent year-on-year to Rs 366 crore, which was ahead of CNBC-TV18 poll estimates of Rs 357 crore.

Profit in corresponding period last fiscal stood at Rs 332 crore.

Consolidated revenue during the quarter increased 11.8 percent year-on-year to Rs 2,199 crore with healthy domestic volume growth at 12.4 percent against 13 percent in same period last year.

"Prudent cost management initiatives coupled with strong growth in the domestic market across our key business categories helped Dabur India Ltd mitigate the weaker economic indicators and macro-economic headwinds in some international markets to deliver a strong overall performance in the third quarter of 2018-19 financial year," the company said.

A CNBC-TV18 poll estimates for revenue stood at Rs 2,169 crore and domestic volume growth at 8-10 percent.

Dabur's shampoo business grew by 25.2 percent and hair oil business was up 23.6 percent, helping the hair care category report a nearly 24 percent growth during the quarter.

The skin & salon business ended the quarter with a 19.3 percent growth, while the OTC & ayurvedic ethicals business grew by 17.6 percent.

Dabur's toothpaste sales, led by continued demand for flagship Dabur Red Paste, was up 11.1 percent while the foods business also grew by 11.1 percent.

Sunil Duggal, Chief Executive Officer, said, "The medium-term prospects for India remain robust and we are confident that domestic consumer sentiment, particularly in rural markets, will gain pace in the months to come on the back of fiscal stimulus."

At operating level too, numbers were ahead of estimates. Consolidated EBITDA (earnings before, interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) in Q3 increased 4.3 percent to Rs 445.2 crore, but margin contracted to 20.2 percent against 20.5 percent YoY.

A CNBC-TV18 poll expectations for EBITDA stood at Rs 433 crore and margin at 20 percent for the quarter.

SP Tulsian of sptulsian.com told CNBC-TV18 that Dabur reported very good numbers for the quarter. "Considering the good rabi crop season and likely continuity in rural consumption growth, Dabur is expected to trade strong going ahead."

Even if it does 10 percent volume growth, numbers are expected to remain good going ahead, according to him.

The stock was quoting at Rs 433, up Rs 2.15, or 0.50 percent on the BSE, at 14:48 hours IST.
