New Tax Regime FAQs — FY 2026-27
For FY 2026-27 (AY 2027-28): Nil up to ₹4,00,000; 5% on ₹4L–₹8L; 10% on ₹8L–₹12L; 15% on ₹12L–₹16L; 20% on ₹16L–₹20L; 25% on ₹20L–₹24L; 30% above ₹24L. Budget 2026 made no changes, so these are the same slabs that applied in FY 2025-26 after Budget 2025.
The New Tax Regime is the default regime since FY 2023-24. If you don't actively choose the Old Regime, your employer will deduct TDS under the New Regime. Salaried individuals can still opt for the Old Regime every year when filing their return or declaring investments to their employer.
The New Regime allows: standard deduction of ₹75,000 for salaried employees and pensioners, employer's NPS contribution under Section 80CCD(2) up to 14% of basic salary, employer's contribution to EPF/NPS/superannuation up to ₹7.5 lakh combined, and a few employment-related exemptions like gratuity, leave encashment, and voluntary retirement benefits. It does NOT allow 80C, 80D, HRA exemption, home loan interest on a self-occupied property, or LTA.
Marginal relief prevents a tax "cliff" just above the ₹12 lakh rebate threshold. Without it, someone earning ₹12,10,000 could owe over ₹61,000 in tax — more than the ₹10,000 by which their income exceeds ₹12 lakh. Marginal relief caps the tax so it never exceeds the amount of income above ₹12 lakh, up to a breakeven point of roughly ₹12.71 lakh taxable income. This calculator applies marginal relief automatically.
Yes, for salaried individuals. The ₹75,000 standard deduction brings a ₹12.75 lakh gross salary down to ₹12 lakh taxable income, and the Section 87A rebate (up to ₹60,000) makes tax on taxable income up to ₹12 lakh exactly zero. So a salaried person earning up to ₹12.75 lakh a year pays no income tax under the New Regime.
Surcharge applies on income above ₹50 lakh: 10% between ₹50L–₹1Cr, 15% between ₹1Cr–₹2Cr, and 25% above ₹2Cr. Unlike the Old Regime, the New Regime caps surcharge at 25% even above ₹5 crore — the Old Regime charges 37% at that level. This makes the New Regime more attractive for very high earners.
