## Frequently asked questions

### Is there income tax on a ₹12 LPA salary under the new regime?

No. Gross salary at ₹12 LPA is about ₹11.19 lakh. After the ₹75,000 standard deduction, taxable income is ₹10.44 lakh, which is below ₹12 lakh, so the 87A rebate wipes out the full tax. Take-home is ₹88,277/month with zero tax.

### Should I switch to the new tax regime at ₹12 LPA?

Almost certainly yes. New regime take-home is ₹88,277/month vs ₹78,324 under old regime (without deductions). To make the old regime equally good, you would need to claim old-regime deductions totalling over ₹2.56 lakh, that means ₹1.5L in 80C, ₹25,000 in 80D, and still need more through HRA or 80CCD. Unless you have a home loan or very high HRA rent payments, the new regime wins.
