Frequently asked questions
Which tax regime is better?
It depends on your deductions; a side-by-side computation shows which is cheaper for you.
When should tax planning be done?
At the start of the year, not in March, so investments and payments are spread sensibly.
Is tax planning the same as tax evasion?
No. Planning uses lawful deductions and structures; evasion is illegal concealment.
Does the new Income-tax Act affect planning?
From 1 April 2026, the Income-tax Act, 2025 applies, with renumbered sections and a single tax year.
