Old vs. New Tax Regime - A simple way to choose

The article (link given below) provides an Excel sheet for you to calculate your taxes under both regimes based on their income and deductions. It emphasizes that individuals with incomes below 7 lakhs and limited deductions can benefit from the new tax regime. However, for individuals with higher incomes and various deductions, the old tax regime may be more advantageous.

Certain investments and premiums are recommended to continue regardless of the chosen regime. These include health insurance, life insurance, and senior citizen schemes. Other investments such as PPF, NPS, immediate annuity plans, and corporate NPS can be beneficial but are not mandatory. Investing in tax-saving funds, high-value insurance policies, deferred annuities, and money-back policies, are discouraged as better alternatives are available. Fixed deposits with tax-saving benefits are skippable, but they can be kept for low-risk purposes.

She also suggest considering alternative investment options like mutual funds, SIPs, index funds, ETFs, and government bonds. These options can be more efficient and help build wealth without solely focusing on tax benefits.

Overall, we would encouraged you to use the provided Excel sheet (in the article) to make informed decisions about your tax regime and investments.
