Doubling standard deduction to Rs 1 lakh, increasing tax break on interest paid on housing loan and rationalisation of capital gains tax regime are some of the expectations that consultancy firm KPMG has from the Budget 2024-25 to be unveiled on July 23 in Parliament.

Cost of living doesn't influence compensation packages: KPMG Survey

Cost of living in a particular city does not influence the compensation packages for talent, a survey of recruitment leaders undertaken by a consultancy firm revealed. Around 95 per cent of human resources leaders and talent acquisition heads from 40 companies across 10 sectors said "cost-of-living differences across Indian cities do not affect compensation decisions", as per the survey by KPMG in February and March. Earlier, there used to be a city compensatory allowance to compensate for a higher cost of living in metros or tier-I cities, but HR heads say very few employers are offering it now, it said, adding the compensation range is more or less the same for the same roles across the country. Employees consider residential rent, property indices, local purchasing power, and overall cost of essentials like goods, utilities, and transportation when evaluating the cost of living, it said. The survey found Pune among the cities to be excelling on the safety aspect. "Chennai, Navi
