Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether the standard deduction is applicable under the new tax regime. While some initial responses suggest it is available, the consensus, supported by references to Section 115BAC of the Income Tax Act, indicates that the standard deduction is generally not available for salary income in the new tax regime, though it may apply to house property income.
