How Tax Saving Works in India

India's income tax system lets salaried individuals reduce their taxable income through specific government-approved investments and expenses. The key deductions fall under Chapter VI-A of the Income Tax Act — most notably Section 80C, which gives a flat ₹1.5 lakh deduction for approved investments like PPF, ELSS, life insurance premiums, and the principal repayment of home loans.

Since FY 2023-24, the new tax regime is the default. It offers lower slab rates but removes most deductions. The old regime allows deductions but has higher rates — making it worth it only if your total deductions are large enough to offset the slab difference. This guide shows you both, for every salary level.
