Synopsis
Budget 2021 stopped short of granting much sought after income tax breaks, specially for higher expenses of the salaried on account of working from home. However, taxpayers aged above 75 with only pension and interest income won’t have to file their tax returns.

Income tax forms will come prefilled with details such as capital gains from listed securities and dividend income.
