### The Breakeven Threshold: When is Old Regime Better?

The Old Tax Regime allows extensive Chapter VI-A deductions including: - **Section 80C:** Up to ₹1.5 Lakhs (EPF, PPF, ELSS, Life Insurance, School tuition) - **Section 80D:** Up to ₹25k - ₹1 Lakh (Health insurance for self, family, and senior citizen parents) - **Section 80CCD(1B):** Up to ₹50,000 additional NPS investment - **Section 24(b):** Up to ₹2 Lakhs interest on Home Loan for self-occupied house - **HRA / LTA:** Full exemption subject to rent receipts and company policy

#### Rule of Thumb Breakeven Points: - **Gross Salary ₹10 Lakhs:** Choose Old Regime only if deductions exceed **₹2.50 Lakhs**. - **Gross Salary ₹15 Lakhs:** Choose Old Regime only if deductions exceed **₹3.75 Lakhs**. - **Gross Salary ₹20 Lakhs+:** Choose Old Regime only if deductions exceed **₹4.25 Lakhs**.

If your total deductions are below these thresholds, the **New Tax Regime will almost always yield lower tax and higher monthly in-hand salary**.
