New Tax Regime: No New Change Coming In From April 1, Finance Ministry Clarifies

According to the finance ministry, the new tax regime remains the default option for taxpayers. However, individuals retain the flexibility to opt out until the filing of returns for the AY2024-25

The Finance Ministry on Monday issued a statement reaffirming that there will be no alterations to the new tax regime for the financial year 2024-25, which commences on April 1. The government in a 6-point note explained in response to misleading social media posts circulating on various platforms.

According to the finance ministry, the new tax regime remains the default option for taxpayers. However, individuals retain the flexibility to opt out until the filing of returns for the assessment year 2024-25. Taxpayers are encouraged to select the regime they deem most advantageous to their financial circumstances.

The statement further highlights that eligible individuals without business income have the liberty to choose between the new and old tax regimes for each financial year. This allows for a personalised approach based on individual preferences and financial strategies.

Effective from the assessment year 2024-25, the new regime automatically applies to individuals, excluding companies and firms. Under this regime, tax rates are notably reduced, although various exemptions and deductions, with the exception of standard deductions, are not applicable as in the old regime.
