FAQ

What is the new tax regime?
The Finance Act, 2020 introduced the new tax regime under Section 115BAC for individuals and HUFs, offering lower tax rates contingent upon certain conditions, including the forfeiture of specific exemptions and deductions. From the Assessment Year 2024-25 onwards, the Finance Act, 2023 has expanded the scope of this regime to include AOP, BOI, and AJP, making it the default tax regime for the taxpayers.
What is the difference between the old tax regime and new tax regime?
If a taxpayer opts for the new tax regime as per Section 115BAC, they are required to forgo exemptions and deductions while computing their total income. This means that if a person is currently availing of exemptions or deductions under the normal tax regime, they may not save as much tax or may even end up paying more tax under the new tax regime if the amount of exemptions and deductions they are currently receiving is substantial.
 Should i opt for new tax regime?
The decision to opt for the new tax regime will depend on the amount of exemptions and deductions available to the assessee. For example, if an individual has no deductions available to them under the old tax regime, it would always be more beneficial for them to opt for the new tax regime.
On the other hand, if an individual is availing of deductions under Section 80C,Section 80D, and the interest on housing loan under Section 24, it would be beneficial for them to opt for the old tax regime.
How to opt for old tax regime?
Where an assessee wants to opt for the old tax regime, Section 115BAC provides an option to the eligible assessee to opt out of the new tax regime in a prescribed manner.
What should I do if I find a transaction which is incorrectly recorded or which does not pertain to me?
Once you are viewing information under AIS, click on a specific information. Once the information details are seen, on the right side is a feedback button by using which taxpayer can provide feedback from the menu options available.
What is e-verification Scheme?
The e-Verification Scheme 2021 is a digital initiative by the Income Tax Department to identify and reconcile mismatches between the financial transactions reported by third parties (like banks) and the income declared by taxpayers in their ITR.
