Budget 2022: Twitter has a field day with middle class, crypto tax memes

moneycontrol.com:

Income tax rates will remain unchanged for fiscal year 2022-23, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced in the Union Budget today in possibly her shortest Budget speech ever.

Standard deduction was also not raised – widely anticipated in view of the elevated inflation levels and impact of the pandemic on the middle class.

The standard deduction currently stands at Rs 50,000. There was no change to income tax slabs in the personal income tax category in the Budget.

Twitter was disappointed and expressed their chagrin with memes as the salaried class got no tax concessions.
