Old Vs New Tax Regime - Tax rates, their calculations & comparison

The Government of India introduced a new optional tax rate regime starting from April 1, 2020 (FY 2020-21). The new tax regime has widened the scope of taxation with seven tax slabs rates ranging from 0% to 30% with the highest tax rate applicable on income above INR 15 lakh.
While there were only four tax slabs in the old regime from 0% to 30% with the maximum rate applicable on income above INR 10 lakh.
There won’t be any benefits due to investments in tax saving instruments, Like - paying premiums on life or a medical insurance policy, children’s school fee, home loan principal repayment, etc., as well as for HRA, LTA, etc. in the new tax regime.

Here is the tax slabs of new and old tax regime

Comparison: New Vs Old


A. Considering 1.5 Lakh Deductions under 80C

A standard deduction of 50k is applicable for almost all employees. So, I am freezing this amount and changing the other deduction for the old tax regime. Generally, many of us take advantage of maximum deduction (1.5 Lacs) under 80C. Following is the percentage of tax amount wrt different Gross Income.

  • There is a break-even point at Gross Income: 12.25 Lakh, where New and Old Tax has equal tax share.

B. Considering 10 Lakh Income
