Updated on July 18, 2022 The tax slabs and tax rates for the financial year  2020-21, 2021-22, and 2022-2023  remain the same. The rules for the old tax regime and the new tax regime are also the same as in previous years. The amount of rebate u/s 87A has been kept unchanged under both the old and new income tax regimes. Section 87A provides a tax rebate up to Rs 12500 to individual taxpayers if their total income is less than Rs 5 lakh after claiming deductions. NRIs, HUFs, Associations, and corporates are not eligible to claim an income tax rebate under Section 87A. Old tax regime: Salaried individuals, who have no business income, will have to choose between the existing and new tax regimes every financial year, as per their convenience. The same rule also applies to FY 2021-22 (AY 2022-23)  and FY 2022-23 (AY 2023-24) without any changes. The taxpayer who opted for the old rule will be entitled to deductions and relief such as Leave Travel Allowance (LTA), House Rent Allowance (HRA), Conveyance, Daily expenses in the course of employment, Relocation allowance, Helper allowance, Children’s education allowance, Other special allowances [Section 10(14)], Standard deduction, Professional tax, Interest on housing loan (Section 24), Chapter VI-A deduction (80C,80D, 80E,80EEA,80EEB,80 TTA, 80TTB, etc.).
