What is New tax regime?

The new tax regime is the default income tax option in India with lower slab rates but fewer deductions and exemptions than the old regime.

Salaried people can choose between the old regime (with deductions such as HRA, 80C and home loan interest) and the new regime (lower rates, standard deduction, few other deductions). Which one saves more depends on how many deductions you can claim.

Compare both on the old vs new tax regime calculator and confirm with your CA.
