This discussion addresses whether an individual can switch to the new tax regime when filing a revised Income Tax Return (ITR) after initially filing under the old regime. The consensus is that changing tax regimes in a revised return is not permitted by the Central Processing Centre (CPC). The original return must be verified first; otherwise, the revised return will be considered invalid.
