Section 87A gives a rebate that wipes out your tax up to a threshold. Under the new regime, resident individuals with taxable income up to ₹7 lakh get a rebate of up to ₹25,000 — meaning zero tax.
- Under the old regime, the rebate is up to ₹12,500 for income up to ₹5 lakh.
- The rebate applies to tax before cess.
- It is available only to resident individuals, not NRIs or companies.
