New Tax Regime Slabs for FY 2024-25 (AY 2025-26)
The new regime tax slabs: ₹0–3 lakh = 0%; ₹3–7 lakh = 5%; ₹7–10 lakh = 10%; ₹10–12 lakh = 15%; ₹12–15 lakh = 20%; above ₹15 lakh = 30%. Budget 2024 increased the standard deduction from ₹50,000 to ₹75,000 for salaried employees under the new regime. The Section 87A rebate makes income up to ₹7 lakh completely tax-free — meaning gross income up to ₹7.75 lakh after the ₹75,000 standard deduction results in zero tax liability.
Old Tax Regime Slabs — With Deductions
Old regime slabs (individual below 60): ₹0–2.5 lakh = 0%; ₹2.5–5 lakh = 5%; ₹5–10 lakh = 20%; above ₹10 lakh = 30%. Senior citizens (60–79): basic exemption ₹3 lakh. Super senior citizens (80+): basic exemption ₹5 lakh. The old regime allows deductions under Section 80C (up to ₹1.5 lakh — PF, PPF, ELSS, LIC), 80D (health insurance up to ₹25,000), HRA exemption (use our HRA Calculator), 80E (education loan interest), 80G (donations) and many others.
Which Regime Saves More — Practical Break-Even Analysis
For income up to ₹7 lakh: new regime is always better — zero tax after 87A rebate. For ₹7–15 lakh: depends on deductions. The new regime wins if your deductions (80C + 80D + HRA + others) are below approximately ₹2–3 lakh; old regime wins above that. For income above ₹15 lakh: if total deductions exceed ₹3.75 lakh, old regime saves more.
