As the general elections is just over a year away, the Narendra Modi government might bring some good news for the middle-class taxpayers in the upcoming Union Budget on February 1, 2018.

The government might also increase the income tax slab, which is at present 5% for  Rs 2.5-5 lakh income bracket.
