This discussion clarifies the differences between the old and new income tax regimes for FY2024-25. It confirms that the new tax regime generally does not allow deductions like those under Section 80C for life insurance premiums or ELSS mutual funds. While switching to the new regime is possible, the ability to switch back and forth annually may be restricted, especially for salary income.

Yes, You can switch to new scheme. (But, better to check the availability of new to old & old new. Bcoz, it's not possible to switch every year except Salary income)
