FAQ :

Over 60% of taxpayers have adopted the new income tax regime.

The new regime offers lower tax rates, a higher threshold for the highest tax rate, an increased basic exemption, and enhanced rebates, making it more lucrative for many taxpayers.

Experts suggest reducing the highest tax rate from 30% to 25%, increasing the threshold limit, raising the standard deduction, and increasing the basic exemption limit.

The earlier version, launched in 2019-20, was less popular because its tax slabs were less attractive compared to the old regime, especially when considering the deductions and exemptions available.

It is uncertain if the government will introduce further changes in the upcoming interim Budget, with some experts believing significant alterations are unlikely at this stage.
