1) Limit in deduction on health insurance has been hiked from Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 25,000 to encourage people to take health insurance.

5) To provide for social safety net and pension to individuals, an additional deduction of Rs. 50,000 for contribution to new pension scheme under Section 80CCD has been proposed.
6) Wealth tax has been abolished.

It is very hard to digest that after7th pay commission the salary of central govt eemployees will be three fold. The media must calculate actual potion before telecasting this new. It is not true. Media can evaluate on basis of previous pay commission report. Flash news is that upto 4, 40, 200/- tax can be saved. What a pity. The employees whose salary in upto 5 or 6 lacs , how can they save or invest hige amount. Higher value of tax deductions were taken.
