Budget 2024: Nirmala Sitharaman may offer relief with higher tax-exempt limit on savings interest

The government is reportedly considering a proposal to increase the tax-deductible limit on interest income from savings accounts to Rs 25,000. With the Budget 2024 date set for July 23, the proposal, put forth by banks during a recent meeting with key finance ministry officials, aims to provide deposit incentives amidst concerns over the widening credit-deposit ratio, claimed an Economic Times report.
