Quick try:
1. Basic Profile

Employer NPS limit is 14% of Basic+DA for every category under the New Regime — this field is for your records.
2. Salary Income
Standard Deduction: ₹75,000 ⓘ
Common deductions NOT available in the New Tax Regime
  • 80C, 80CCC — investments/insurance/principal repayment
  • 80CCD(1) / 80CCD(1B) — your own NPS contribution
  • 80D, 80DD, 80DDB — health insurance & medical treatment
  • 80E, 80EE, 80EEA, 80EEB — education & home/EV loan interest
  • 80G, 80GG, 80GGA, 80GGC — donations & rent paid
  • 80TTA, 80TTB — savings/deposit interest
  • 80U — taxpayer's own disability
  • HRA and LTA/LTC exemptions
  • Home loan interest on a self-occupied property

These map to provisions carried forward from the Income-tax Act, 1961 into the Income-tax Act, 2025 — they remain disallowed under the default New Regime.

3. Employer Contribution to NPS

Employer NPS contribution can qualify for a deduction under the New Tax Regime subject to 14% of Basic+DA. Use "Enter salary components" above so the calculator has your Basic+DA to compute the exact limit.

4. Other Income
5. House Property Income

Self-occupied: interest is not deductible under the New Regime. Let-out: interest is deductible against rent with no cap, but a resulting loss cannot reduce your salary/other income this year — it only carries forward.

6. Capital Gains

Equity LTCG: 12.5% above ₹1,25,000/year exemption. Equity STCG: 20%. Other-asset LTCG: 12.5% (no indexation). These do not receive the rebate and carry their own 15%-capped surcharge.
