Income Tax Slab for Women

Understanding income tax slabs is crucial for planning your finances, and many women in India often ask whether the government provides any special tax benefits or separate income tax slabs for them. In this article, we’ll explain the current income tax slabs for women, the difference (if any) compared to men, and available tax benefits that women can still take advantage of.

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)
