This discussion addresses whether an individual can opt for the New Tax Regime when filing an updated Income Tax Return (ITR) under section 139(8A) for Assessment Year 2022-23, especially if they haven't filed an ITR previously. The consensus is that if no ITR was filed, the default regime was the Old Regime, and selecting the New Tax Regime might not be permissible in this specific updated filing scenario.
