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?

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.

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

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