Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Which regime should I choose?

If your total deductions (80C + HRA + 80D + home loan interest etc.) exceed roughly ₹3.75L for income above ₹15L, the Old Regime is usually better. Use the comparison box in the calculator to check your specific situation.

Q2: Is ₹12 lakh really tax-free under New Regime?

For salaried individuals: yes. Gross income up to ₹12,75,000 (₹12L + ₹75K standard deduction) results in zero tax thanks to the full Sec 87A rebate of ₹60,000.

Q3: Can I switch regimes every year?

Salaried individuals can switch every year at the time of filing ITR. Business or professional income earners can switch from New to Old only once in a lifetime.

Q4: What is the 4% health & education cess?

It is levied on total income tax (including surcharge) and funds health and education schemes. It applies to everyone regardless of income.

Q5: What is Sec 87A rebate?

A direct tax rebate that eliminates liability if taxable income does not exceed ₹12L (New Regime) or ₹5L (Old Regime). It does not apply to special-rate income like LTCG on equity.

Q6: Is employer NPS (80CCD-2) available in New Regime?

Yes — it is one of the very few deductions available in the New Regime. It is not counted within the ₹1.5L 80C ceiling.
