Comparing Tax Liability Under New and Old Regimes for 20-25 Lakh Salaries
For salaried individuals earning between 20 and 25 lakh annually, choosing between the old and new tax regimes depends on their deductions and exemptions. The new regime offers lower tax rates but fewer deductions, while the old regime allows claims like House Rent Allowance and Section 80C investments. Calculations by ClearTax indicate that taxpayers without substantial deductions may benefit more from the new regime, whereas those with significant exemptions might find the old regime advantageous.
