Form 10IEA is only mandatory for business or professional income taxpayers opting for the new tax regime. Salaried individuals can choose the new regime directly within their Income Tax Return (ITR) without needing to file a separate form. For the Assessment Year 2024-25, the new tax regime is the default option for all individuals. If advance tax was paid under the incorrect minor head (e.g., Section 115TD), a challan correction request should be submitted to the Jurisdictional Assessing Officer.
