Full tax on income above Rs 12 lakh but marginal relief helps you save big, know how much you will save after Budget 2026

Marginal relief offers a tax benefit for resident individuals in the new regime with income just over Rs 12 lakh. This provision ensures their tax payable doesn't exceed the income earned above the Rs 12 lakh threshold, effectively capping their tax liability. For instance, an income of Rs 12.10 lakh results in a tax of only Rs 10,000.
