It's estimated that approximately 5.5 crore taxpayers opted for the new tax regime in the financial year 2024. This regime offers a simplified tax filing process and means taxpayers earning up to Rs 7.27 lakh won't pay any tax, thanks to a rebate. However, it does not allow for deductions under sections like 80C or 80D, making it ideal for those who don't have significant tax-saving investments. The old tax regime, which allows for various deductions, may still be more beneficial for individuals with substantial tax-saving activities.
New Tax Regime
Taxable Income Up to Rs 7.27 lakh: Taxpayers earning up to Rs 7.27 lakh are not required to pay any tax under the new tax regime. This includes a marginal relief of up to Rs 27,000, achieved through a Rs 25,000 rebate under the Finance Act, 2023.
