This discussion clarifies whether an assessee liable for a tax audit under Section 44AB can opt for the new tax regime under Section 10IE. Experts confirm this is possible, provided Form 10IE is filed before the tax return. However, once the new regime is chosen, it must be continued, as opting out means you cannot re-elect it in the future. Similarly, opting out of the new regime is only possible in the subsequent assessment year.
