Income Tax Slab for Women in India - Tax Rates and Benefits
By Web Online CA
4 min read
Updated On 14-February-2026
In India, income tax is levied based on individual earnings and is categorized into different slabs. Many women taxpayers often wonder whether there are any special tax benefits or slab rates available exclusively for them. While the income tax system does not currently offer separate slabs for women, there are important aspects worth understanding, including deductions, exemptions, and how the choice of regime can impact tax savings.
