Should I choose the Old Tax Regime or the New Tax Regime?

It depends on your eligible deductions. If your total deductions (Section 80C up to ₹1.5L, Section 24(b) home loan interest up to ₹2L, HRA, 80D medical) exceed ₹3.75 Lakhs, the Old Tax Regime often saves more tax. For individuals with minimal deductions, the New Tax Regime offers lower concessional slab rates and higher tax rebate thresholds.

What is the standard deduction for salaried employees?

Under Indian Income Tax provisions, salaried individuals and pensioners receive a flat standard deduction from gross salary income, reducing total taxable income automatically under both tax regimes.

How much can I save under Section 80C?

Section 80C provides a deduction of up to ₹1,50,000 per financial year for investments in ELSS mutual funds, PPF, EPF, Life Insurance premiums, 5-year tax-saver fixed deposits, and home loan principal repayments.

Do I need to pay advance tax?

If your total estimated tax liability exceeds ₹10,000 in a financial year (after deducting TDS), you must pay advance tax in quarterly installments (15% by June 15, 45% by Sep 15, 75% by Dec 15, and 100% by March 15) to avoid interest penalties under Sections 234B and 234C.

How is HRA exemption calculated under the Old Regime?

House Rent Allowance (HRA) exemption is the minimum of three amounts: (1) Actual HRA received, (2) 50% of basic salary for metro cities or 40% for non-metros, or (3) Rent paid minus 10% of basic salary.
