Tax Regime Comparison

Old vs New Tax Regime for Pensioners

We compare your pension income, bank interest, deductions and eligible senior citizen tax benefits before filing your Income Tax Return.

Deduction Focused

Old Tax Regime

The Old Tax Regime may be useful when you have eligible deductions and exemptions that reduce your taxable income.

Eligible Section 80TTB deduction on bank interest
Eligible Section 80D health-related deduction
Eligible Section 80DDB deduction for specified disease treatment
May suit pensioners who have higher eligible deductions and tax benefits.
Simpler Structure

New Tax Regime

The New Tax Regime under Section 115BAC uses a different tax structure and limits many deductions available under the old regime.

Simpler tax structure with fewer deduction claims
Many Chapter VI-A deductions are generally not available
May suit pensioners with fewer eligible deductions
May work better when you have limited deductions and a simpler income profile.
You Don't Need to Compare Both Regimes Yourself

We review your pension income, bank interest and eligible deductions to compare the Old Tax Regime and New Tax Regime before filing.
