The Union Budget 2025 brings several key changes that could shape the way you manage your finances. From tax reforms to incentives for savings, these changes provide an opportunity to build better financial habits.
1. Tax Slabs and Savings
One of the most anticipated announcements in the budget is the revision of income tax slabs. With potential reductions in tax rates for middle-income groups, you could have more disposable income. Instead of spending it impulsively, consider increasing your savings through tax-efficient options like PPF, ELSS, or NPS.
2. Digital Payments and Financial Discipline
The government's push towards digital transactions has further strengthened with additional incentives. Using digital tools, such as Life Planner, can help you track expenses, manage budgets, and set reminders for bills and savings goals. With its Habit Tracker and Expense Management features, you can make digital finance work in your favor.
3. Investment in Mutual Funds and Stocks
With changes in capital gains tax structures and new incentives for investments in equity and mutual funds, now might be a great time to re-evaluate your investment portfolio. The budget encourages long-term investments, which can be tracked using apps like Life Planner, ensuring you stay on top of your financial goals.
4. Boosting Retirement Savings
Changes in pension schemes and retirement benefits have been a highlight this year. If you haven’t yet started planning for retirement, take this as a sign to begin. Set up automated contributions to your retirement fund and use the Habit Calendar in Life Planner to remind you of your contributions.
