Answer

Tax Calculation under Old Regime
In the previous year 2020, the individual's income sources and calculations under the old tax regime are as follows:
- **Total Income:**
- Agricultural Income: ₹25,000
- Other Income: ₹16,00,000
- Agricultural Income: ₹20,000
- Total Income = ₹16,00,000 + ₹25,000 + ₹20,000 = ₹16,45,000
- **Agricultural Loss:**
- Absorbed Agricultural Loss: ₹7,000
- Net Taxable Income = ₹16,45,000 - ₹7,000 = ₹16,38,000

Tax Calculation under New Regime
If the individual opts for the new tax regime, the following points apply:
- **New Tax Regime:**
- The new regime offers lower tax rates but does not allow many deductions.
- Agricultural Income is exempt and does not affect tax slabs.
- **Taxable Income Calculation:**
- Total Taxable Income = ₹16,00,000 (as agricultural income is exempt)

Comparison of Tax Benefits
- **Old Regime Benefits:**
- Deductions allowed on various investments and expenses.
- Absorbed agricultural losses can be set off against other income.
- **New Regime Benefits:**
- Lower tax rates but limited deductions.
- For income above ₹15,00,000, the tax rate is 30%, without the benefit of deductions.

Conclusion
- **Tax Impact:**
- Under the old regime, the individual has a higher taxable income due to deductions but can benefit from the exemptions and lower effective tax with various deductions.
- The new regime simplifies tax calculation with lower rates but offers limited deductions.
- **Recommendation:**
- Evaluate the total tax outflow under both regimes, considering the individual’s investment habits and future planning. If deductions are significant, sticking to the old regime may be beneficial.
