Since the new tax regime was introduced in the 2020 budget, there are two tax regimes under which you should file your income tax return. You had a choice between the old and new tax regimes when it was first introduced, but as of Budget 2023, the new tax system is now the default. This implies that your income tax will be automatically filed under the new tax regime as a new taxpayer.

Since the 2020 budget introduced a new tax regime, there are two tax regimes under which you file your income tax return. The old and new tax regimes were available for selection at the time of launch; however, as of Budget 2023, the new tax system is now the default.
