Understanding taxable income is crucial for effective financial planning and maximising tax savings, as it determines the amount on which income tax is levied.

The choice affects exemptions and tax slabs, influencing the final tax amount. Old Regime offers more deductions, but the New Regime has a lower tax rate.

Knowing deductions like Section 80C and 80D helps reduce taxable income, lowering the overall tax liability and potentially increasing savings.

Health and education cess, at 4%, is added to the calculated income tax to contribute towards health and education initiatives. This affects the final tax payable.

By wisely utilising deductions like Section 80C and understanding the impact of tax regimes, you could optimise tax savings and plan finances effectively.
