Common Pitfalls to Avoid
-
• Forgetting that the New Regime offers ₹75,000 standard deduction automaticallyNo investment proofs or bills are required to claim the ₹75,000 standard deduction in the New Regime.
-
• Locking funds in 80C instruments when the New Regime yields lower overall taxCalculate whether total deductions exceed the breakeven threshold (~₹3.75L+) before locking money in 3-5 year tax-saver schemes.
-
• Using gross price instead of base price when calculating GST additionAdding 18% GST to ₹10,000 is ₹1,800. But extracting 18% GST from a ₹10,000 inclusive price is ₹1,525.42 (₹10,000 - ₹10,000 / 1.18).

- • Calculations are based on constant rates and verified Indian Income Tax Act 1961 & Statutory Regulations formulas. They do not forecast unexpected regulatory updates, fiscal policy changes, or market fluctuations.
- • Precision uses 64-bit IEEE 754 floating point arithmetic; ultra-high precision ledger auditing requiring arbitrary-precision big decimal strings should double-check boundary rounding.
