I am a software engineer with a CTC of 12 lakh rupees. Should I choose the old tax regime or the new tax regime?

If your total deduction is below Rupees 1.5 lakh, the new tax regime is always better. If deductions exceed Rupees 3.75 lakh, the old regime is definitely more beneficial. For deductions between Rupees 1.5 lakh and Rupees 3.75 lakh, the optimal regime depends on your income level. For a personalized answer, use my popular old vs. new income tax regime calculator. Input your payslip figures,e expenses, and investments to get auto-calculated deductions and income from all sources. It will show the best regime for maximum tax savings. This tool is free for my tax masterclass attendees.
