A 10% surcharge applies above ₹50L taxable income under both regimes. The new regime still wins for most: lower base rates mean a lower surcharge too. Old regime competes only with very large deductions.

At ₹75,00,000 gross, new-regime tax is ₹20,67,780 and old-regime tax is ₹21,27,840

At a gross annual salary of ₹75.00 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 27.6%, giving you a monthly take-home of ₹4.53 L.

Above the ₹12 lakh rebate, the new regime bills ₹20,67,780 at 27.6% 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 ₹75,00,000 gross, the new regime's ₹75,000 standard deduction leaves ₹74,25,000 taxable

  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
