Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether individuals can switch between the old and new tax regimes in India. If you have salary and other income (but no business income), you can choose your preferred tax regime directly in your Income Tax Return (ITR). Importantly, you have the flexibility to switch between the regimes each financial year. For the 2023-24 financial year, you can opt out of the new regime by selecting 'Yes' to the relevant option in ITR-1 or ITR-2 before the due date.

Yes.                            

Opting out with salary and other sources:
• Without business income, you choose the regime in the ITR itself (filed by the due date). No Form 10-IEA needed. You can switch every year.
• For FY 2023-24, select "Yes" to "opting out of new regime" in ITR-1/2 (filed by 31 July 2024).
