New regime almost always wins at ₹35L because the old regime 30% slab dominates above ₹10L taxable regardless of deductions. New regime stays cheaper unless you claim ₹6.5L+ in deductions.

At ₹35,00,000 gross, new-regime tax is ₹6,31,800 and old-regime tax is ₹6,86,400

At a gross annual salary of ₹35.00 L, your tax liability depends on which regime you choose and the deductions you can claim. Under the new regime, your effective tax rate is 18.1%, giving you a monthly take-home of ₹2.39 L.

Above the ₹12 lakh rebate, the new regime bills ₹6,31,800 at 18.1% effective

  • Standard deduction: ₹75,000 (new) or ₹50,000 (old): automatically applied
  • No 87A rebate under new regime: taxable income exceeds ₹12 lakh threshold
  • New regime is simpler: no investment proofs or paperwork needed
  • 4% Health & Education Cess applies on top of computed tax

From ₹35,00,000 gross, the new regime's ₹75,000 standard deduction leaves ₹34,25,000 taxable

  1. Start with gross salary: ₹35.00 L
  2. Subtract standard deduction (₹75K new / ₹50K old) + other deductions (old only)
  3. Apply progressive tax slabs to taxable income
  4. Check if Section 87A rebate applies (taxable ≤ ₹12L new / ₹5L old)
  5. Add 4% cess on final tax amount
