Tax Filing & Regime FAQs
Common questions answered by our Chartered Accountants.
It depends on your deductions! If you have substantial deductions (like ₹1.5L in 80C, ₹50K in 80D, ₹50K in NPS, and ₹1.5L+ in HRA or Home loan interest exceeding ₹3.75 Lakhs), the Old Regime often yields lower tax. Otherwise, the New Regime with lower slab rates and a flat ₹75,000 standard deduction provides significantly better savings with zero paperwork.
Salaried individuals without business income can freely switch between the Old and New Regime every financial year at the time of filing their ITR. Individuals having business or professional income (ITR-3 / ITR-4) can opt out of the new regime only once in their lifetime and cannot switch back frequently.
