Common questions

Is the new tax regime really tax-free up to ₹12 lakh?

For FY 2025-26, a salaried person with total income up to ₹12,00,000 pays effectively zero tax under the new regime thanks to the section 87A rebate, plus a ₹75,000 standard deduction on top. Tax Buddy shows your exact number.

Should I pick the old or new regime?

It depends on your deductions. The old regime usually wins only if you fully use HRA, home-loan interest, 80C, 80D and NPS. Otherwise the new regime is simpler and often cheaper. Our calculator compares both in one click.

Is Tax Buddy a substitute for a CA?

No. Tax Buddy gives educational estimates and guidance to help you understand your taxes and ask better questions. Always confirm with a qualified Chartered Accountant before filing.
