Old regime deductions
Capped per section

Only the old regime allows these. Amounts above the statutory ceiling are disallowed, so an inflated 80C figure won't tilt the comparison.

Tax payable by income level, both regimes

Which regime should you pick?

The new regime has lower rates and a bigger rebate threshold, but doesn't allow most deductions. The old regime has higher rates but rewards active tax planning — 80C investments, HRA, home loan interest, health insurance. As a rough rule: the more deductions you claim, the more likely the old regime wins; if you claim few deductions, the new regime is usually better.
