Understanding Your Income Tax in India - A Comprehensive Guide
Calculating your income tax can seem daunting, but with the right tools and understanding, it becomes manageable. This guide aims to simplify the Indian income tax system for individuals, helping you use our Income Tax Estimator more effectively. For the Financial Year 2023-24 (Assessment Year 2024-25), taxpayers in India have the option to choose between the Old Tax Regime and the New Tax Regime. Each has its own set of rules, slab rates, and available deductions.
Old Tax Regime vs. New Tax Regime (FY 2023-24 / AY 2024-25)
The **Old Tax Regime** allows taxpayers to claim various deductions and exemptions, such as those under Section 80C (LIC, PPF, ELSS, home loan principal), Section 80D (health insurance premium), HRA (House Rent Allowance), LTA (Leave Travel Allowance), and interest on home loans (Section 24b). The tax slab rates under the old regime are different and generally have higher rates at lower income levels compared to the new regime if no deductions are claimed.
The **New Tax Regime** (under Section 115BAC) was introduced to simplify the tax process by offering lower, concessional tax rates but forgoes most common deductions and exemptions. For FY 2023-24, the new regime has been made the default regime. However, taxpayers can opt for the old regime if it's more beneficial. A significant change for FY 2023-24 is that a Standard Deduction of ₹50,000 is now available under the New Tax Regime for salaried individuals and pensioners. Also, the basic exemption limit in the new regime is ₹3,00,000, and tax rebate under Section 87A is available for taxable income up to ₹7,00,000 (meaning no tax if taxable income is up to ₹7 lakhs).
