Income Tax Slab for Women in India

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.

Are There Separate Tax Slabs for Women?

As of the current financial year 2024–25 (Assessment Year 2025–26), the Income Tax Department does not provide a separate tax slab for women. The tax slabs are the same for all individual taxpayers, irrespective of gender, under both:

  • The Old Tax Regime
  • The New Tax Regime (default option from FY 2023–24)
