Budget 2024: Is the new income tax regime beneficial for all salaried taxpayers?

Hindustan Times  

The government is nudging salaried income taxpayers to move to a new regime, which it says is simpler and offers lower rates of taxes. In her 2020 budget speech introducing the new tax regime, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman noted that the income tax law allowed more than 100 exemptions and deductions. Those who had made certain investment decisions to benefit from deductions allowed under the old tax regime might not see much merit in shifting to the new regime. There are three tax slabs and taxable income below ₹2.50 lakh is exempt under the old tax regime for the current assessment year. Disadvantages of new regime The old tax regime encourages people to save in tax saving instrument such as PPF, life insurance policies and equity-linked savings schemes of mutual funds.
