Which tax regime should I choose?

Choose old regime if you have significant deductions (home loan, investments, insurance). Choose new regime if you have minimal deductions and want simpler tax planning.

What is the standard deduction?

Standard deduction of ₹50,000 is available for salaried individuals in both tax regimes. It's automatically deducted from your salary income.

What is cess in income tax?

Health and Education Cess is 4% of income tax liability. It's an additional tax used to fund health and education initiatives.

Can I switch between tax regimes?

Yes, you can choose your tax regime each financial year. From FY 2023-24, new regime is default; you must explicitly opt-out for old regime while filing ITR.
