Jammu: National Mazdoor Conference (NMC)
on Sunday appealed to the Centre to immediately raise the income
tax exemption limit from Rs 1.80 lakh to Rs 3 lakh for the
salaried class.
"Since salaried class is facing a lot of economic
hardships, raising income tax exemption limit from Rs 1.80
lakh to Rs 3 lakh would be a genuine measure to provide some
relief to them," NMC President Subash Shastri told an NMC
workers' rally here.
This has become imperative in view of the pay hike after
implementation of the 6th Pay Commission report, he said.
