             Section 115BAC of the Income Tax Act introduces a new tax regime that allows individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs) to pay income tax at lower rates.  
Certainly! Let’s compare the new tax regime introduced by Section 115BAC with the existing tax regime. Here’s a side-by-side comparison:
	- 
	New Tax Regime (Section 115BAC): 
		- Default Option: The new regime is now the default choice for taxpayers.
- Tax Rebate: Income up to ₹7 lakhs is eligible for a tax rebate, meaning no tax is payable for this income range.
- Revised Tax Slabs:
		
			- Up to ₹3 lakh: Nil
- ₹3 lakh to ₹6 lakh: 5%
- ₹6 lakh to ₹9 lakh: 10%
- ₹9 lakh to ₹12 lakh: 15%
- ₹12 lakh to ₹15 lakh: 20%
- Above ₹15 lakh: 30%
 
- Standard Deduction: The standard deduction of ₹50,000 applies.
- Fewer Deductions/Exemptions: The new regime does not allow 70+ deductions and exemptions.
- Reduced Surcharge: The highest surcharge rate has been reduced from 37% to 25% for taxpayers earning more than ₹5 crore.
 
- 
	Existing Tax Regime: 
		- Allows various deductions and exemptions.
- Tax rates are different, with higher rates for certain income brackets.
- Surcharge rates may vary based on income levels.
 
Considerations:
	- Choose Wisely: Taxpayers can opt for either regime based on their individual circumstances.
- Evaluate Deductions: If you have significant deductions/exemptions, the existing regime might be more beneficial.
- Simplicity vs. Savings: The new regime offers simplicity but may not always result in the lowest tax liability.
Remember to consult a tax professional or use online tax calculators to determine which regime suits you best based on your income, deductions, and financial goals. 📊💰
Thats why I said Tax principles written are skewed. But Tax Bracket calculations still exist and from 
Total tax liability arisen-Tax rebate  upto 7 lakhs.
