16 August 2025 Add-On Insight: The new tax regime now confers zero tax up to ₹12 lakh income, significantly narrowing the advantage the old regime once held.
Rebate under Section 87A remains fully available (for income up to ₹5 lakh) in the old regime—even when the new regime’s rebate provisions may fail for certain special incomes like STCG.
And yes—the old tax regime is still very much available; only the new regime is set as the default at present, offering flexibility to taxpayers who benefit more from exemptions and deductions.
