Common Questions

Tax FAQs Answered

Which tax regime is better — old or new?

It depends on your deductions. If your 80C, HRA, and home loan deductions total more than ₹3–4 lakh, the old regime often saves more. If you have few deductions (no home loan, renting with no HRA, minimal 80C investments), the new regime typically saves more due to lower rates. Use our comparison calculator to find out for your specific situation.

Can I switch between old and new regime every year?

Salaried employees can switch regimes every financial year when filing their ITR. However, if you have business income, you can only switch once from new to old — not back and forth. Employers will ask you to declare your regime choice at the start of each financial year for TDS purposes.

How is HRA exemption calculated?

HRA exemption is the minimum of: (1) Actual HRA received, (2) Rent paid minus 10% of basic salary, and (3) 50% of basic salary for metro cities or 40% for non-metro cities. Only the qualifying minimum is tax-exempt. Our HRA calculator computes all three automatically.

Is gratuity taxable?

Gratuity received from a government employer is fully exempt from tax. For private sector employees covered under the Payment of Gratuity Act, gratuity up to ₹20 lakh is tax-exempt. For other private employees, the exemption is computed as the minimum of the actual amount, 15 days' salary × years of service, or ₹20 lakh.
