Since you have significant deductions (PF, NPS, HRA, medical expenses), Old Regime might still be beneficial. However, run the numbers through a tax calculator to compare!

Old Regime would likely suit you better, considering the deductions you’re eligible for. If you’re comfortable tracking and managing these deductions every year, it could help you save more on taxes. Just keep in mind that the paperwork can be a bit more involved.

If you're someone who prefers simplicity, the New Regime could be appealing because of the lower tax slabs and no need for managing deductions. However, it might end up costing you more in taxes if you already have substantial deductions. It’s all about weighing th... see more

As the new tax is eligible for FY 2025-26 choose a new regime, I am also choosing the same and I too have similar compensation. For 2024-25 old tax regime.

I beg to differ with many who are suggesting the old regime here. Maybe when you are eligible for your interest on housing loan, old is better but without it, new regime is better for you. Tax under Old Regime- Rs. 12,88,000 and Tax under New Regime- Rs. 12,20,320.... see more
