Sharan sits down with CA Nitesh Buddhadev, Chartered Accountant and Founder of Nimit Consultancy, a Mumbai-based wealth management and tax planning firm. With over 10 years of experience in tax planning and more than 200 crores under management, Nitesh is a regular guest speaker on CNBC, Zee Business and Money9, and a columnist for Mint, Moneycontrol and Financial Express.In this conversation, Nitesh breaks down exactly how much income you can earn tax-free under the new Income Tax Act 2025, whether you are salaried, earning rental income, freelancing, or living off capital gains. You will learn how salaried employees can pay zero tax up to 15.75 lakh using EPF, NPS and the new meal coupon allowance, why rental income up to 17 lakh can be completely tax-free, and how freelancers can use presumptive taxation to pay zero tax up to 24 lakh.The episode also covers everything that has changed for ITR filing in 2026, including new deadlines for ITR 1 to 4, the four new metro cities that improve your HRA claim, and the revised children education and hostel allowances. Nitesh then goes deep into tax-efficient investing: why arbitrage funds beat FDs for short-term goals, how surcharge quietly pushes high earners into 39 to 43 percent tax brackets, the real tax difference between mutual funds and PMS, and how tax harvesting and loss harvesting can save you over 60,000 rupees every single year.Finally, the two topics every modern professional needs to understand: how ESOPs are actually taxed at exercise and at sale (and how Section 54F can bring that tax to zero), and how an HUF really works, including the myths and clubbing provisions that catch most people off guard. If you want to keep more of your hard-earned money in your bank account this year, this is the episode to study.CA Nitesh BuddhadevLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/niteshbuddhadev Instagram: https
