Zero Tax up to ₹12.75 Lakhs

Under New Regime, Section 87A rebate covers taxable income up to ₹12 Lakhs. With ₹75k Std Deduction, gross salary up to ₹12.75L is 100% tax-free!

The Tipping Point Rule

Old Regime only beats New Regime if your total deductions (80C + 80D + HRA + Home Loan) exceed ₹4.25 Lakhs per year.

Marginal Relief Shield

If taxable income slightly exceeds ₹12 Lakhs (e.g. ₹12.1 Lakhs), marginal relief caps the tax so it never exceeds the income above ₹12L!

Yes! Under the New Tax Regime, taxable income up to ₹12 Lakhs qualifies for a 100% rebate under Section 87A. For salaried individuals with the ₹75,000 Standard Deduction, gross salary up to ₹12.75 Lakhs results in ZERO tax liability.
No. Section 80C (PPF, EPF, ELSS), Section 80D (Health Insurance), and HRA exemptions are disabled under the New Tax Regime in exchange for lower tax slab rates and a higher standard deduction of ₹75,000.
