The Indian Budget 2023-24: What It Means for Salaried Individuals

-
Image
The recent Indian Budget 2023-24 has many exciting announcements for the hard-working middle class, including those who are salaried individuals. In this article, we'll take a closer look at the key changes and benefits for salaried people and how they can potentially save on taxes. Tax Rebate: The Limit Has Been Increased The first major announcement is related to the tax rebate.

Reduced Tax Slabs and Increased Tax Exemption Limit In 2020, the government introduced a new personal income tax regime with six income slabs starting from ₹2.5 lakh. This year's budget has reduced the number of slabs to five and increased the tax exemption limit to ₹3 lakh. This mea...

Australia: 5 titles in 7 WC finals

-
After 11 World Cups, five triumphant and two defeated finals, Australia boast an unprecedented five titles. We look back at where they got it wrong in 1975 and 1996 – and right in 1987, 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2015… 1.  Captain and key all-rounder Clive Lloyd was too hot to handle for Ian Chappell’s men in  June 1975’s inaugural final  at Lord’s. Lloyd orchestrated a fine century against an opposition attack spearheaded by pace ace Dennis Lillee and Gary Gilmour, whose five-wicket haul went in vain. Seamer Lloyd’s four-for, a string of unfulfilled starts from the Australian batsmen – and as many as five run-outs – brought the Windies triumph. 2. November 1987 witnessed Australia’s maiden World Cup title , against England, at Eden Gardens in Calcutta. Opener David Boon and the little known Mike Veletta ensured a reasonably formidable total, after which two wickets apiece for seamer Steve Waugh and captain and spinn...
