OLD TAX REGIME VS NEW TAX REGIME
OLD IS GOLD , IF EXEMPTIONS EXCEED RS 2.5 LAKHS
Dated 23.01.2021 : Whatever may be your age & whatever may be your income , you will pay lesser income tax in the FY 2021-22 with the old tax structure compared with the New simplified tax Regime brought by our FM , IF YOUR EXEMPTIONS WHICH ARE SCRAPPED IN THE NEW REGIME ARE MORE THAN RS 2,50,000 .
The exemptions that you may have include standard deduction , 80TTA , 80 TTB , 80C , 80D , 80EE , 80EEA etc .
Further as your exemptions go on increasing above Rs 2.00 lakhs , the additional tax payment you have to make in the new regime will go on increasing . Suppose you have annual income of Rs 25 lakhs and your present exemptions are 10 lakhs , you may have to pay additional tax of Rs 2,34,000 .
However we suggest you compare yourself your tax liability in both the regimes and decide which regime is good for you .
