💼
Standard Deduction
Salaried employees get a flat ₹75,000 deduction.
🚫
Zero Complexity

Revised Income Tax Slabs
| Taxable Income Range (₹) | Tax Rate (%) |
|---|---|
| Up to 4,00,000 | 0% (Exempt) |
| 4,00,001 – 8,00,000 | 5% |
| 8,00,001 – 12,00,000 | 10% |
| 12,00,001 – 16,00,000 | 15% |
| 16,00,001 – 20,00,000 | 20% |
| Above 24,00,000 | 30% |
Who Gains the Most?
- Low-to-Mid Earners: Anyone with taxable income up to ₹12 Lakh.
- Salaried Professionals: Benefit from the combined power of the Standard Deduction and the New Slabs (Income up to ₹12.75 Lakh remains tax-free).
- Direct Taxpayers: Those who prefer liquid cash over forced savings in insurance or ELSS.
Opting Out: While the New Regime is the default, you can switch to the Old Regime once a year during your ITR filing. However, if you have business income, this choice is more restricted—evaluate carefully!
