However, once a choice is made for either the new or old regime, switching back is not permitted.

Hi Experts Could you please provide clarity on switching between new and old regime as per Finance act 2020. I understand that all the employee should have provision to switch between new and old regime anytime from April 1st till march 2021. In that case employee can change their plan at any time in the FY. Kindly clarify
