The government collects income tax on a person's income. A person, Hindu Undivided Family (HUF), business, cooperative societies, trusts and other entities are all required to abide by the income tax rules. Tax slabs are used to determine the income tax of a person on the basis of their age and income. The income of a person after subtracting the exemptions, deductions, and rebates becomes their taxable income. The deduction, exemptions and other rules may be revised on the basis of the Union Budget presented for that financial year.

Whether the new tax regime or the old tax regime is more beneficial depends on your individual financial situation, as each has its pros and cons. Here’s a comparison to help you decide:
Deductions and exemptions available: Under the old regime, you can claim various deductions and exemptions, like:
Higher tax-saving opportunities: If you have significant expenses or investments that qualify for deductions, the old regime might be better as it allows you to reduce your taxable income.
Potentially lower tax: If your deductions and exemptions bring your taxable income down considerably, you could end up paying less tax than under the new regime.
No deductions/exemptions: The biggest difference is that under the new tax regime, you cannot claim most of the deductions and exemptions available under the old regime.
Lower tax rates: The new tax regime has lower tax slabs compared to the old one, which can benefit those who don’t have enough tax-saving investments or expenses to benefit from the old regime's deductions.
Simplicity: The new regime is simpler because you don’t have to keep track of all the deductions and exemptions. This can be helpful if you don’t want to deal with complicated tax planning.
