From FY 2020-2021, there will be two tax regimes - Old that is current and new tax regime.

Under old current tax regime, you will continue to get all deductions including Standard deductions and it's as usual. No changes.

Under new tax regime , no deductions are allowed. Also Standard deduction won't be allowed.

Since you do not have business income, every year you have to exercise the option for filing ITR that is. a) old tax regime and b) new tax regime.

You have right to change from one option to another every year.
