The new tax scheme, 115 BAC, can be opted into when filing your Income Tax Return (ITR) 1 or 2, even without business income. You only need to file a separate Form 10-IE if you have income from a business or profession (PGBP) or are filing ITR 3 or 4. This means most individuals can choose the new regime directly within their tax return.
