Comparison Old Scheme vs. New Scheme for Income Tax Return Filing (ITR) for Salaried

As a salaried individual, filing your income tax return filing (ITR) is an essential task. The Indian government offers two options: the old tax scheme and the new tax scheme. In this comparison report, we will analyze and compare the key aspects of both schemes to help you make an informed decision.

    1. Old Scheme: The old tax scheme follows the existing income tax slabs and allows individuals to claim various deductions and exemptions. Here are the key points to consider:

Advantages:

  • Offers a wider range of deductions and exemptions, including those for house rent allowance (HRA), medical expenses, standard deduction, etc.
  • Allows you to avail deductions under Chapter VI-A, such as Section 80C (for investments in Provident Fund, life insurance, etc.), Section 80D (for medical insurance premiums), and more.
  • Particularly beneficial for individuals with higher expenses and investments, as it provides more opportunities to reduce taxable income.

Disadvantages:

  • Higher tax rates at higher income levels compared to the new scheme.
  • Complexity in calculating taxable income due to the involvement of multiple deductions and exemptions.
  • May require careful planning and documentation to maximize the benefits.

New Scheme:

The new tax scheme was introduced with the aim of simplifying the tax structure. It offers lower tax rates but eliminates various deductions and exemptions. Let’s examine its key aspects:

Advantages:

  • No need to track and claim specific deductions and exemptions, which simplifies the filing process.
  • Suitable for individuals with limited deductions and exemptions or those who prefer a straightforward tax calculation method.

Disadvantages:

  • Eliminates deductions under Chapter VI-A, including popular ones like Section 80C, 80D, and others.
  • Higher tax liability for individuals with significant deductions and exemptions under the old scheme.
  • Limited scope for tax planning and reducing taxable income beyond the prescribed slabs.

Choosing the Right Scheme: The decision between the old and new schemes depends on your specific financial situation and priorities. Here are some factors to consider:

  1. Level of Deductions: Evaluate the deductions and exemptions you typically claim and assess their impact on your taxable income. If you have substantial deductions, the old scheme may be more beneficial.
  2. Simplicity: Consider your preference for a simplified tax structure. The new scheme offers lower rates and simplified calculations, while the old scheme involves more complexity but provides greater opportunities for deductions.
  3. Long-term Financial Planning: If you have long-term financial goals and make significant investments, the old scheme’s deductions may help you save more in the long run.

Comparison of New and Old Scheme

Mr. Abc – He is New to Employment without any savings:

  • Salary Income: ₹10 lakhs under the New scheme
  • Tax Liability: Rs.78000 (under New Scheme)

Tax Liability for 10 Lakh Income without any investment/ savings (Old Scheme):

  • Taxable Income: ₹10 lakh
  • Total Tax Liability: Rs.106,000 (under Old Scheme)

Recommendation: Since Mr. Abc is new to employment and doesn’t have significant savings or investments, the new tax scheme may be more suitable as it offers lower tax rates without the need to track deductions.

Mr. Xyz – Experienced Employee with savings + Investments:

  • Income: ₹10 lakh
  • Eligible Deductions:
    • Housing loan interest: ₹2 lakh
    • Medical insurance premium: ₹30,000
    • Investments under Section 80C: ₹1.5 lakh
    • Standard Deduction: ₹50,000
  • Taxable Income (after deductions): ₹6.2 lakh
  • Tax Liability: Rs.27560 ((under old Scheme),

Recommendation: Since Mr. Xyz has housing loan interest, medical insurance, and investments, which are eligible for deductions, the old tax scheme may be more beneficial. It allows for a lower taxable income and potential tax savings through deductions.

Ultimately, the choice between the old and new tax schemes depends on your individual circumstances and financial goals. It is advisable to consult with a tax professional or financial advisor who can assess your specific situation and guide you in selecting the most suitable scheme for your income tax return filing.
