In this updated version changes have an impact only in Form 24Q (Annexure II) where the tax computation of each employee needs to be reported as part of the TDS Return. This applies only in the for Quarter 4. These changes are summarized as under:
- From FY:23-24 onwards, by default all employees are placed in the new regime for taxation u/s 115BAC(1A). This may be opted out for those employees, who would like their tax to be computed under the old regime. Till FY:22-23, one had to opt for the new regime, but now it is the other way around. Requisite validation updates have been made.
- From FY:23-24 onwards, in the new regime, Standard Deduction u/s 16(ia) has been introduced (it was not there till FY:22-23). This has now been addressed in this FVU.
