New income tax regime has better tax rates, but what's missing?

India Today  

Budget 2025 is just a few days away and anticipation of tax relief for the salaried taxpayers is also heating up as the government needs to address the slowdown in GDP amid the rise in the cost of living. Swapnil Aggarwal, Director, VSRK Capital said that for the new income tax regime to be applicable successfully, it might need to incorporate some features of the old era of widespread deductions and exemptions. The government has been focussing on increasing the adaptability of the new tax regime but since people still stick to the old tax regime due to the tax saving deductions it offers. Dipesh Jain, Partner at Economic Laws Practice, said, "The rates under the new tax regime are lucrative, but non-availability of certain deductions like interest on loans for acquisition/construction of self-occupied property led to less popularity of the new tax regime." Such benefit is not available to the taxpayers under the new tax regime, thereby increasing tax burden in their hands," he added.
