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?
