  Latest Income Tax Slabs (New Regime – FY 2025-26 / AY 2026-27)

  Under the new tax regime, all individual taxpayers — regardless of age — are taxed using the following slabs (note these are indicative and may vary based on final rules):

  • Up to ₹4,00,000: Nil

  • ₹4,00,001 to ₹8,00,000: 5%

  • ₹8,00,001 to ₹12,00,000: 10%

  • ₹12,00,001 to ₹16,00,000: 15%

  • ₹16,00,001 to ₹20,00,000: 20%

  • ₹20,00,001 to ₹24,00,000: 25%

  • Above ₹24,00,000: 30%

  This new regime intentionally offers lower tax rates and simplifies tax compliance by removing many exemptions and deductions, although standard exceptions like health and education cess still apply.

  Old Tax Regime (Optional)

  The old regime continues to exist, allowing taxpayers to use traditional exemptions and deductions if they are beneficial. It has higher basic slabs but includes allowances and deductions like 80C, 80D, and more. This flexibility can be useful for salaried individuals or those investing under tax-saving schemes.
