After the release of the union budget 2023, by Nirmala Sitharaman, many individuals are highly relaxed as the tax exemption limit was increased to ₹7 lakh. But still many fall under the category of paying tax having their incomes set at ₹7 lakh or more. Problem is that everyone wants to earn but no one wants to lose his or her hard-earned money by paying taxes upfront.
