Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether a pensioner can switch back to the old tax regime in the following year, even if they chose the new regime this year. The consensus is yes, provided the individual does not have income from a business or profession, as per the proviso to section 115BAC(5) of the Income Tax Act.

As per proviso to section 115BAC (5), if the person does not have income from business or profession, the person can opt between old and new tax regime. So a pensioner (without business/profession income) can opt for old regime next year even though he opted for new regime this year.
Thank You Sir
Yes he can
