Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common income tax planning questions

Budget 2025 overhauled the new tax regime for FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27). Key changes: (1) Section 87A rebate extended from ₹7 lakh to ₹12 lakh taxable income — max rebate ₹60,000. (2) New 7-slab structure with lower rates (₹4L / ₹8L / ₹12L / ₹16L / ₹20L / ₹24L). (3) Salaried individuals effectively pay zero tax up to ₹12.75 lakh income after ₹75,000 standard deduction. (4) Marginal relief now applies just above ₹12 lakh. Old regime slabs and exemptions remain unchanged.
Salaried employees must inform their employer of their preferred regime at the start of the financial year so the correct TDS is deducted. You can still switch regimes at the time of filing your ITR if the employer-chosen regime does not suit you. Individuals with business or professional income must file Form 10-IEA to opt out of the default new regime, and switching is restricted — once-in-a-lifetime for business-income taxpayers, whereas salaried can switch every year.
Yes. Section 80CCD(1B) allows an additional deduction of ₹50,000 for NPS contributions over and above the ₹1,50,000 limit under Section 80C. Both can be claimed simultaneously under the old tax regime, giving a combined deduction of up to ₹2 lakh.
No. The deduction under Section 24(b) for home loan interest on self-occupied property is not available under the new tax regime. It is only available under the old regime, up to a maximum of ₹2,00,000 per year. For let-out properties, interest deduction rules differ under both regimes.
New regime (FY 2025-26): full rebate for taxable income up to ₹12,00,000 — maximum rebate ₹60,000. Marginal relief applies just above ₹12 lakh so the extra tax never exceeds the income above ₹12 lakh. Old regime: full rebate up to ₹12,500 for taxable income up to ₹5,00,000. Rebate is not available on tax arising from capital gains under Section 112A (LTCG above ₹1.25 lakh).
After Budget 2025, the new regime wins for most salaried taxpayers. The old regime is only better when your total deductions are very high — typically above ₹8 lakh combined (80C ₹1.5 L + 80D ₹75 K + 80CCD(1B) ₹50 K + HRA + home loan ₹2 L + other). Typical scenario: someone with a home loan + high HRA (metro) + maxed NPS + family health insurance + senior parents covered. Always run the calculator above — the savings tips section suggests where you could save more.
For individuals not subject to audit: 31 July 2026. For taxpayers requiring audit: 31 October 2026. Transfer pricing cases: 30 November 2026. A belated return can be filed till 31 December 2026 but attracts a late fee under Section 234F (₹1,000 if income ≤ ₹5 L, else ₹5,000) plus interest under Section 234A. The updated return window (ITR-U) for FY 2025-26 stays open till 31 March 2030.
The calculator provides a general estimate applicable to all taxpayers. However, freelancers and self-employed individuals may have business expenses, depreciation, and presumptive taxation under Section 44ADA or 44AD to consider. We recommend booking a consultation for an accurate, profile-specific analysis.
