Sources & method. Income-tax Act 2025 applies from 1 April 2026; section 202 covers the new regime and section 156 covers the rebate. New-regime slab rates match the prior FY structure, but the tax-year terminology and law changed. Resident salary up to ₹12.75L can yield zero slab tax after a ₹75,000 standard deduction and rebate, excluding special-rate income. Marginal relief applies just above ₹12L taxable. Surcharge, EPF and other deductions are excluded by default.
