India’s New Tax Regime Takes Effect from April 1: Key Benefits and Changes Explained

the Indian government’s new tax regime announced in the Union Budget 2025 has officially come into effect. The revised structure is aimed at simplifying the tax system and providing relief to middle-class taxpayers, especially those opting for the minimal-exemptions route.

Key Highlights of the New Regime

  • Basic exemption limit raised from ₹3 lakh to ₹4 lakh
  • Rebate limit increased from ₹7 lakh to ₹12 lakh
  • Updated tax slabs under the new regime encourage simplified compliance

Under the revised framework, individuals earning up to ₹12 lakh annually may effectively pay zero tax under the rebate provision, depending on their deductions and regime selection. These changes are expected to bring significant tax savings for salaried individuals, particularly in the ₹7–12 lakh income bracket.

Impact on Taxpayers

The regime favors taxpayers who prefer no exemptions and deductions, making it a straightforward alternative to the old tax system. However, taxpayers still have the option to choose between the old and new regimes based on their financial planning needs.

Finance Ministry officials stated that the move is part of the government’s long-term roadmap to shift towards a simpler, lower-rate, and broad-base tax system.
