Change of Tax Regime (Old to New)

[Ajoy Singh]

Hello Sir,

Can I select old tax regime during the ITR filling for FY 2024-25 (AY-2025-26) ?

TDS was deducted from my salary as per new tax regime.

Last year I filled ITR under new tax regime.

The new tax regime appears by default.  I think you can change to old regime by clicking the old regime.  In my opinion the new tax regime is beneficial than the old one.

AI Summary

Choice of tax regime: taxpayers can elect the old or new regime at filing despite TDS deducted under the new regime.
Taxpayers may select the old tax regime when filing an income tax return even if salary TDS was deducted under the new regime; the ITR filing interface defaults to the new regime but allows electing the old regime by selecting the appropriate option, and prior-year filing under one regime does not preclude choosing the other in a later year.
