What is the Difference Between the Old and New Tax Regimes?
The Old Tax Regime follows the traditional tax slab structure and allows taxpayers to claim various exemptions and deductions, whereas the New Tax Regime offers lower tax rates with fewer deductions and exemptions.
Choosing the right regime depends on your income, eligible deductions, and tax-saving investments. Comparing both regimes helps determine which option results in a lower tax liability.
New Tax Regime
The New Tax Regime is designed for taxpayers who prefer a simplified tax structure without claiming multiple deductions or exemptions. Although many deductions available under the old regime are not permitted, it offers lower tax rates across broader income slabs.
One of the biggest advantages of the new regime is the higher rebate threshold. Eligible individuals with taxable income up to ₹12 lakh can significantly reduce or eliminate their tax liability, subject to the applicable provisions under the Income Tax Act.
Income Tax Slabs for FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27) Under the New Tax Regime
| Annual Income (INR) | Tax Rate |
|---|---|
| ₹0 - ₹4 lakh | Nil |
| ₹4 lakh - ₹8 lakh | 5% |
| ₹8 lakh - ₹12 lakh | 10% |
| ₹12 lakh - ₹16 lakh | 15% |
| ₹16 lakh - ₹20 lakh | 20% |
| ₹20 lakh - ₹24 lakh | 25% |
| Above ₹24 lakh | 30% |
Note: Above tax rates do not include surcharge and the applicable 4% Health and Education Cess.
Under the new regime, the increase in the rebate threshold has significantly reduced the tax burden for eligible taxpayers. Additionally, a standard deduction of ₹75,000 is available for eligible salaried individuals, allowing many taxpayers to further reduce their taxable income.
You can also use the Savetaxs New Tax Regime Calculator to instantly estimate your tax liability and compare your tax savings.
Old Tax Regime
The Old Tax Regime allows taxpayers to claim several exemptions and deductions, including investments under Section 80C, health insurance premiums under Section 80D, home loan benefits, HRA, LTA, and other eligible deductions.
Although the old regime offers greater flexibility through tax-saving investments, the higher tax rates may make it less beneficial for individuals with limited deductions.
Income Tax Slabs 2025 Under the Old Tax Regime
| Annual Income (INR) | Tax Rate |
|---|---|
| Up to ₹2.5 lakh | Nil |
| ₹2.5 lakh - ₹5 lakh | 5% |
| ₹5 lakh - ₹10 lakh | 20% |
| Above ₹10 lakh | 30% |
You can calculate your tax liability under the old regime by using the Savetaxs Income Tax Calculator and compare it with the new regime to identify the better option.
New Tax Regime Applicability for NRIs
For FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27), Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) can opt for the New Tax Regime, subject to the applicable provisions of the Income Tax Act.
Eligibility Rules
- Any NRI having Indian income can opt for the new regime by default or via Form 10-IEA (if switching back to the old). Indian income includes salary, rent, capital gains, and interest on NRO accounts.
- Same slab rates of 0% up to ₹4 lakh, and up to 30% above ₹24 lakh apply. Along with that, a standard deduction of ₹75,000 applies on salary and the employer NPS 80CCD(2) contribution (14%).
- The new regime applies automatically as the default choice unless you file Form 10-IEA for the old regime. This is ideal for NRIs as they often skip deductions like 80C or HRA.
NRI Benefits
The New Tax Regime helps taxpayers with low and middle incomes reduce their tax liability. For example, an individual with an annual taxable income of ₹12 lakh can save up to ₹83K or higher as compared to the old tax regime. However, several deductions like home loan interest or Section 80C are not available. Choose the old regime only if these deductions apply.
NRIs can opt for the New Tax Regime and benefit from the applicable tax slab rates and eligible deductions, such as the employer's NPS contribution under Section 80CCD(2), wherever applicable. They should compare both tax regimes before filing their Income Tax Return to determine the most beneficial option.
