Let’s solve this step by step.
We are comparing two tax regimes for Alex: Old Tax Regime and New Tax Regime.
From the image, we can see:
Alex’s Income Details (Right Side):
- Gross Total Income = ₹2,800,000
- Total Exemptions = ₹550,000
- Total Deductions = ₹230,000
→ So,
Taxable Income = ₹2,020,000 (already calculated)
Now, under
Old Tax Regime, the “Tax on Income” is shown as
₹418,500
Under
New Tax Regime, the “Tax on Income” is shown as
₹306,000
The question is asking for the
difference between both tax regimes — meaning, how much more or less tax Alex pays under one regime vs the other.
So, we subtract:
> Difference = Tax under Old Regime – Tax under New Regime
> = ₹418,500 – ₹306,000
> = ₹112,500
That means Alex saves ₹112,500 by choosing the New Tax Regime instead of the Old one.
✔ Let’s double-check the subtraction:
418,500
–306,000
= 112,500 → Correct.
Final Answer:
₹112,500
