Note: If the salaried employee is claiming deductions under
section 80C, 80D (medical premium), HRA exemption, LTA exemption and deduction
of interest paid on housing loan taken for self occupied property up to
permissible limits, he is is likely to be better off in the existing personal
tax regime. A high earner claiming only these deductions is likely to save tax
under the new regime but lower income earners up to gross salary of Rs 12.5 lakh
will end up paying more tax.To see if the new regime is beneficial, each
individual will have to make their own comparative calculations. It will depend
the level of deductions and exemptions you are claiming at the moment.
This new tax regime is the option to those people who are unable to avail
exemptions or deductions. Those who are new in job ,one who has not yet planned
to buy a house, he might be putting little money in PF (provident fund) and
insurance. He may find that, depending on his income, this new scheme is better.

be applicable as per the Option exercised at the time of filing of Return every
year. Income Tax Return has to be filed by Due Date. If ITR is late, then Tax
payable at Normal rate.
