Old and New Regime of Tax:
At the time of making the investment declaration the employees were given an option to choose the tax regime. Based
on the tax regime opted by them their taxes were calculated and deduced during the year.

changed during the Financial Year. However if an employee wants to change the tax regime he/she may do so at the time
of filing of their personal income tax return.
Therefore, the employees opted for the new regime of tax under section 115BAC of the Income Tax Act, would not be
getting any benefit for the investments done by them. And hence such employees are not required to submit any proofs

given below will help in understanding the requirement of documents to be submitted to get proper benefits
