Questions

What are the income tax slabs for FY 2026-27 (new regime)?

Unchanged by Budget 2026: nil up to ₹4 lakh, 5% for ₹4–8 lakh, 10% for ₹8–12 lakh, 15% for ₹12–16 lakh, 20% for ₹16–20 lakh, 25% for ₹20–24 lakh and 30% above ₹24 lakh, plus 4% health and education cess.

Is salary up to ₹12.75 lakh tax-free?

Yes, under the new regime. The ₹75,000 standard deduction brings ₹12.75 lakh down to ₹12 lakh of taxable income, and the Section 87A rebate of up to ₹60,000 cancels the tax on it. Just above ₹12 lakh, marginal relief caps the tax at the amount your income exceeds ₹12 lakh.

Does PF reduce my tax in the new regime?

No. Employee PF is deducted from your in-hand pay, but Section 80C deductions are not available under the new regime.
