As the date draws closer to the presentation of the Union Budget 2022-23, all eyes are on Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. Many people are eager to know if Sitharaman will announce some income tax benefits on 1 February.

Individual taxpayers fall under three categories- people below 60 years of age (including both non-residents and residents), resident senior citizens between the ages of 60 and 80 years and resident super senior residents who are over 80 years.

Old Tax Regime:

This structure allows individual taxpayers to avail certain deductions and exemptions. The Old Tax Regime has four slabs:

  • Individuals who have an annual income of less than Rs 2.5 lakh, do not have to pay any income tax
  • People whose income falls in the range of Rs 2.5 lakh to Rs 5 lakh, have to pay 5 percent income tax
  • Taxpayers whose earnings are between Rs 5 lakh and Rs 10 lakh have to pay 20 percent tax on their income
  • People who are earning over Rs 10 lakh, will be taxed at a rate of 30 percent

New Tax Regime: 
This structure allows individuals to pay taxes lower rates, if they forego certain deductions available under Section 80C.  Home loan exemptions, insurance and standard exemptions are also not applicable under this system.

  • People with an annual income of up to Rs 2.5 lakh are exempted from paying income tax
  • Individual taxpayers with an income of Rs 2.5-5 lakh will be taxed 5 percent on their total income
  • People with earnings between Rs 5 lakh and Rs 7.5 lakh need to pay income tax amounting to 10 percent of their income
  • Taxpayers with annual income between Rs 7.5 lakh to Rs 10 lakh will be taxed 15 percent on their income.
  • People earning between Rs 10 lakh to Rs 12.5 lakh annually, need to pay 20 percent as income tax
  • Individuals with an annual income between Rs 12.5 lakh to Rs 15 lakh will be taxed 25 percent on their income
  • Finally, people who earn more than Rs 15 lakh annually will have be taxed 30 percent on their income

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-
Image
After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu

Aditya L1 Mission: Spacecraft is nearing its final phase, says ISRO chief

-
Aditya L1 spacecraft is nearing its final phase, and manoeuvres to enter the L1 point are expected to be completed by January 7, 2024, according to ISRO Chairman S Somanath. “Aditya is on the way. I think it has reached almost its final phase,” the ISRO chief told PTI on the sidelines of an event organised at VSSC to commemorate the 60th year of the First Sounding Rocket Launch. Aditya L1, India’s first space-based mission to study the Sun, was successfully launched on September 2 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) in Sriharikota. The spacecraft, after travelling about 1.5 million km from Earth over 125 days, is expected to be placed in a Halo orbit around the Lagrangian point L1, considered closest to the Sun. He said that the last preparations for the spacecraft’s entry into the L1 point are currently underway incrementally.”Possibly by January 7th, the final manoeuvres will be done for entering into the L1 point,” Somanath added. Among other tasks, it will capture and tr
