Which regime is better now?

With the ₹1 Lakh standard deduction and zero tax up to ₹12 Lakhs income, the New Regime has become the overwhelmingly better choice for the majority of Indian salaried taxpayers. You would need very high deductions (typically above ₹4,25,000) for the Old Regime to result in lower tax than the updated New Regime.
