| Income Slab | Income Tax Rate |
| Up to INR 3,00,000 | Nil |
| INR 3,00,000 – INR 6,00,000 | 5% |
| INR 6,00,000 – INR 9,00,000 | 10% |
| INR 9,00,000 – INR 12,00,000 | 15% |
| INR 12,00,000 – INR 15,00,000 | 20% |
| INR 15,00,000 and above | 30% |
| Income Slab | Income Tax Rate |
| Up to INR 2,50,000 | Nil |
| INR 2,50,001 – INR 5,00,000 | 5% |

The rebate limit for individual taxpayers has been increased from INR 5 lakh to INR 7 lakh per annum. So, the taxpayers who were getting tax exemptions on income up to INR 5 lakh will now receive the rebate on an amount up to INR 7 lakh under the new tax regime. Hence, taxpayers can stay away from paying tax for up to INR 7 lakh under the new tax regime.
Further, the budget 2023 announced the scrapping of the old twin-structure introduced in 2020. As per the new structure, the number of tax slabs have been reduced and exemption limit has been increased to INR 3 lakh.
Further, in the last union budget 2020, individual taxpayers were given the option to choose the old tax rate, which allowed them to claim exemption on tax. Alternatively, they were given the option to select the reduced new tax slab with no option of tax benefits. Further, as per the 2020 budget, taxpayers under the old tax regime could receive a 30% tax rate (with INR 15 lakh annual income). However, they had the option to claim exemptions. On the other hand, taxpayers opting for the new tax slab in 2020 received a 25 % tax rate (with INR 15 lakh annual income). However, they didn’t get the option to claim exemptions.
So, let’s check with an example how much savings can be enjoyed by a taxpayer under the Union Budget 2023 Income Tax – new tax regime. Since no change has been made in the old tax regime, it remains unchanged.
For individuals with a salary up to INR 7 lakh/annum are not required to pay any tax. Earlier, this tax deduction was up to INR 5 lakh/annum.
Now, if you earn INR 9 lakh salary per annum, there are two ways in which your income can be taxed.
The rest of the balance that is INR 6 lakh can be taxed under two slabs
INR 3 lakh to 6 lakh at 5 %, and
INR 6 lakh to 9 lakh at 10 %
Rest of the balance: INR 3 lakh to be taxed under one slab i.e. INR 6-9 lakh slab at 10 %
Thus, the total tax levied on INR 9 lakh would be the sum of 1, 2, and 3, which will be around INR 45,000, which a taxpayer has to pay as per the new tax regime.
On the other hand, in the case of the old tax regime, if you earn INR 9 lakh/year, the taxpayer might have to pay around INR 60,000 as tax.
It entirely depends on the discretion of the taxpayer to choose the new or old tax regime as per their convenience and benefits. All you need is to spare some time to understand both the tax slabs and the difference between the new and old tax regime. This will help you to decide which one would suit your particular needs.
