If you have invested a lot and need deductions and exemptions, then you need to opt for old tax rates. Finally, you need to rely on a CA for a better advice while filing tax returns.

The FM says the idea is to remove all exemptions/deductions over the next few years. So, won’t that discourage personal investments and savings? A missed opportunity!
