New tax regime won't endanger country's savings rate: Revenue secretary

Household savings through tax saving instruments is just Rs 4 lakh crore, which is 16 per cent of total savings, and shifting to new tax regime won't endanger the country's savings rate, Revenue Secretary Sanjay Malhotra said on Friday. He said the total household savings today are 27-30 per cent of India's GDP and the schemes announced in budget, especially for senior citizens and women, will help the country in improving the savings rate. "I would also like to point out that the savings through tax exemptions is actually a very small portion of the total savings of our country, which are about Rs 25 lakh crore for households. Savings through tax (saving) instruments are only Rs 4 lakh crore. You know people are now investing otherwise," Malhotra said at a CII post-budget event.
