Delving deeper into the old and new tax regimes for the Indian taxpayer, the income tax slabs under both the regimes, and the rates for the FY 2022-23.
We pay taxes to avail the essential amenities that our country provides for our benefit. The tax money collected by the Indian government is put to use to serve us better. In India, the general norm is that the Union Finance Minister declares the income tax slabs under which the Indian tax-paying individuals would be required to pay taxes for that particular financial year. These slabs are announced as part of the Union Budget presented in Feb-March every year. There are two types of income tax regimes currently followed in the country – the old tax regime and the new tax regime.
Here we discuss in detail both the old tax regime slabs and the new ones to help you better understand which ones you fall under while completing your tax-paying duties.
What’s inside?
Meaning of Income Tax Slab – What is an Income Tax Slab?
Before we move on to discussing the two different types of tax regimes and their key differences, let us briefly understand what an income tax slab is.
As is evident from the term, income tax slab refers to a particular slab or bar under which every tax-paying individual in the country falls based on their annual income. This means that those who have a higher annual income would fall under a different tax slab than others earning relatively lesser, and the former would also need to pay higher taxes.
The whole idea of introducing different income tax slabs in India was to maintain fairness across the country and its tax-paying citizens. People should ideally need to pay exactly the amount of tax as the income that they earn in a year. Also, these tax slabs keep changing every financial year when the Finance Minister introduces the budget.

Income Tax Slabs Old Regime
As mentioned above, with new income tax slabs being announced every year, there are currently two different types of slab systems in the country – the old income tax slabs and the new tax regime slabs. The old tax regime refers to the income tax slabs announced for the financial year 2022-23 while the new tax regime also includes tax slabs declared for the AY 2023-24 along with the revised income tax slabs for FY 2022-23.
Here we list out the income tax slabs for three different categories of tax-payers – those aged below 60 years, those between 60 and 80 years of age, and those aged above 80 years.
