Quick Summary
The new income tax regime is optional, but choosing it means you'll have to forgo many common exemptions and deductions. These include home loan interest and principal, LIC premiums, PF contributions, ELSS, NPS (employee contributions), and medical insurance under 80D. However, you can still carry forward short and long-term capital losses under the new regime, though business and house property losses may not be eligible for carry-forward.

All the above exemptions specified by you will not be available if option for new regime...plus losses cannot be carried forward

Yes you can carry forward short or long term capital loss under new regime

Following deductions will not be available under new tax regime

1) Home loan interest

2) LIC premium

3) Contribution to provident fund

4) Investment in ELSS

5) Employee's contribution to NPS

6) Home loan principal

7) Medical Insurance Premium u/s 80D

However employer's contribution to NPS will be available as deduction in new tax regime

Hi Pravin

80TTB reduction of 50k (from bank interest income ) allowed for seniors for FY2020-21 under the new regime?

To avail the new regime, taxpayers have to forgo the following exemptions and deductions:

  • Leave travel allowance
  • House rent allowance
  • Standard deduction/Professional tax deduction/Entertainment allowance
  • Interest on housing loan
  • Deduction on additional depreciation, deduction u/s 32AD/35AD etc.
  • Chapter VI-A deduction other than a contribution to the pension fund by employer and 80JJAA
  • No set-off of any loss under the head house property with any other head of income

Also one more thing on new tax regime I want to ask, Salaried class is using Fringe Benefit from salary component for

Rs 3000 Foodplus card per month (Rs 36000 per year)

Rs 1000 for mobile reimbursement per month (Rs 12000 per year)

Rs 2500 Profession Tax per year

TOTAL Rs 50,500 per year

 

Whether the above three components will continue to remain out of gross salary?

Or

These exemption deductions will go away?
