Key Differences Between New & Old Tax Regimes

choose to opt for either of these income tax regimes and pay tax accordingly. There are 2 key differences between these two income tax
regimes in India:
- Firstly, the new tax regime includes more tax slabs with lower tax rates as compared to the old tax regime. Hence, the income tax slabs for FY 2022-23 (AY 2023-24) are different based on whether you opt for the new or the old tax regime.
- ·Secondly, all the major deductions and exemptions such as Section 80C, Section 80D, etc. that are available under the old tax regime are not allowed if you opt for the new tax regime.
Deductions and exemptions allow tax payers to reduce their taxes by investing, saving or spending on specific financial instruments. The
new tax regime offers you very few exemption or deduction options even though the income tax slab rates for AY 2023-24 are lower compared to
the old tax regime. In contrast, the old tax regime provides up to 70 deductions or exemptions to lower your taxable income and income tax
liability for FY 2022-23.
