A concessional tax regime under proposed clause (ii) of sub section (1A) of section 115BAC will apply to individuals, HUFs, AOPs, BOIs and certain artificial juridical persons from assessment year 2025 26, prescribing graded tax rates by income band; an opt out under sub section (6) of section 115BAC makes Part III of the First Schedule applicable.

Surcharge cap on firm tax limits additional levy above the income threshold, preserving tax on threshold plus excess.
The income-tax rate for firms remains unchanged from the prior year; firms with total income above the threshold face a surcharge on computed income-tax, but the combined tax and surcharge for income exceeding the threshold is capped so it cannot exceed the tax on income at the threshold plus the excess income.

Local authority income-tax surcharge capped to limit additional tax burden above the applicable income threshold.
The income-tax rate for local authorities for FY 2024-25 remains unchanged. A surcharge applies to income-tax where total income exceeds the statutory threshold, calculated as a percentage of income-tax. The combined income-tax and surcharge on income above the threshold is capped so that it does not exceed, by more than the excess income, the income-tax payable on income equal to the threshold.
