Since FY 2023-24 the new regime applies unless you choose the old one. From FY 2025-26 there is no tax up to ₹12 lakh of taxable income because of the rebate, and salaried people also get a ₹75,000 standard deduction.
The old regime still allows deductions such as 80C, HRA and home loan interest. Which is cheaper depends on how much you can claim.
