Along with the income tax benefit table, the income tax department has also released some FAQs to make it easier for taxpayers to understand the Income Tax Act. Here are some of the FAQs

What is ‘New tax Regime’?
New regime provides for concessional tax rates and liberal slabs. However, no deductions are allowed in the new regime (other than those specified for e.g. 80JJAA, 80M, standard deduction).

The change in tax slabs is beneficial for which category of persons?
According to the Income Tax, “New tax regime is applicable to person, being an individual or Hindu undivided family or association of persons [other than a co-operative society], or body of individuals, whether incorporated or not, or an artificial juridical person referred to in sub-clause (vii) of clause (31) of section 2. Accordingly, change in tax slabs will benefit all these persons.
