    Tax Slabs for AY 2025-26***

    • The Finance Act 2024 has amended the provisions of Section 115BAC w.e.f AY 2024-25 to make new tax regime the default tax regime for the assessee being an Individual, HUF, AOP (not being co-operative societies), BOI and or Artificial Juridical Person. However, the eligible taxpayers have the option to opt out of default tax regime and choose to be taxed under old tax regime. The old tax regime refers to the system of income tax calculation and slabs that existed before the introduction of the new tax regime. In the old tax regime, taxpayers have the option to claim various tax deductions and exemptions. However, in default tax regime, tax rates are lower compared to old tax regime.
    • In "non-business cases", option to change the default tax regime can be exercised every year directly in the ITR and such ITR is required to be filed on or before the due date specified under section 139(1). 
    • In case of eligible taxpayers having income from business and profession, if assessee wants to opt out of default tax regime, they have to furnish Form-10-IEA on or before the due date u/s 139(1) for furnishing the return of income. Also, for the purpose of withdrawal of such option i.e. re-entering into new tax regime shall also be done by way of furnishing Form No.10-IEA on or before the due date specified u/s 139(4) for furnishing return of income. However, option to withdraw old tax regime and re-entering into default tax regime is available only in subsequent AY and is available only once in lifetime for eligible taxpayers having income from business and profession.
