Badalta Bharat : Old vs New Tax Regime in India




 Introduction:

The Union Budget 2023 has brought significant changes in the Indian taxation system by introducing a new tax regime for individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs). The new tax regime provides a lower tax rate for taxpayers who are willing to give up their exemptions and deductions. The old tax regime, on the other hand, continues to offer tax exemptions and deductions. In this blog, we will analyze the differences between the new tax regime and the old tax regime in the context of the Budget 2023.


New Tax Regime:

The new tax regime introduced in Budget 2023 offers lower tax rates to individual taxpayers and HUFs. Under the new tax regime, taxpayers can choose to forgo their exemptions and deductions and pay taxes at lower rates. The new tax regime has seven tax slabs ranging from 1% to 35%. The tax rates under the new regime are as follows:


Up to Rs 2.5 lakh: Nil

Rs 2.5 lakh to Rs 5 lakh: 1%

Rs 5 lakh to Rs 7.5 lakh: 5%

Rs 7.5 lakh to Rs 10 lakh: 10%

Rs 10 lakh to Rs 12.5 lakh: 15%

Rs 12.5 lakh to Rs 15 lakh: 20%

Above Rs 15 lakh: 35%

Under the new tax regime, taxpayers will not be eligible for exemptions such as standard deductions, house rent allowance, and deductions under sections 80C, 80D, and 80G.


Old Tax Regime:

The old tax regime continues to provide tax exemptions and deductions to individual taxpayers and HUFs. The old tax regime has four tax slabs ranging from 5% to 30%. The tax rates under the old regime are as follows:


Up to Rs 2.5 lakh: Nil

Rs 2.5 lakh to Rs 5 lakh: 5%

Rs 5 lakh to Rs 10 lakh: 20%

Above Rs 10 lakh: 30%

Under the old tax regime, taxpayers are eligible for exemptions such as standard deduction, house rent allowance, and deductions under section 80C, 80D, and 80G.


Comparison:

The new tax regime provides lower tax rates compared to the old tax regime. However, taxpayers will have to forgo their exemptions and deductions to avail of the lower tax rates. The decision to opt for the new tax regime or the old tax regime will depend on individual taxpayers' tax-saving strategies.


For example, if a taxpayer has significant deductions under section 80C, 80D, and 80G, it may be beneficial to opt for the old tax regime. However, if a taxpayer does not have many deductions and is willing to forgo the exemptions, the new tax regime may be more beneficial.


Conclusion:

The Budget 2023 has introduced a new tax regime that provides lower tax rates to taxpayers who are willing to give up their exemptions and deductions. The old tax regime continues to offer tax exemptions and deductions. The decision to opt for the new tax regime or the old tax regime will depend on individual taxpayers' tax-saving strategies. It is essential to evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of both regimes before making a decision.

Let's Deeply Analyse Union Budget 2024 - Vikas Yatra or Vikalp Ki Talash?

  India's Union Budget 2024, presented as an "interim budget" due to upcoming elections, has sparked debate and analysis. While the government touts it as a "Viksit Bharat Budget" paving the path for a developed India, others see it as lacking concrete measures and missing key opportunities. Here's a closer look at the key highlights and potential implications: Focus on Infrastructure and Youth: Infrastructure push: The budget boasts an 11.1% increase in capital expenditure, aiming to boost infrastructure development in sectors like railways, roads, and digital connectivity.

Arthvyavastha Ki Baat

  Factors Defining Rest of Year' Course of Indian Economy The first-quarter GDP growth number — a contraction by 24% — was on expected lines and shows that the Indian economy has slumped sharply due to the lockdown. “Growth for the full year is likely to be in the region of (—) 6.4 per cent, which is premised on a low negative growth number for the first two quarters for certain, possibly a close to positive number in the third quarter, and positive growth in the last quarter,” writes Madan Sabnavis, chief economist of CARE Ratings. But two basic factors would influence the assumptions being made on the growth prospects for the coming quarters. The first is the process of “Unlocking”. It has been observed that with the economy moving from the stage of a total lockdown in April to a gradual opening up of the windows in May and June, and then the door opening up a little more significantly in July and August, the movement from one stage to another did reflect in the macro-economic nu...
