Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Which political party offers better tax slabs?
Different political parties propose varying thresholds for tax exemptions and rebates (like Section 87A). Select a party above to see exactly who leaves you with more money at the end of the month.
Old vs new tax regime – which should I choose?
The new tax regime is the default for FY 2026-27 with lower slab rates and a ₹75,000 standard deduction but almost no exemptions. The old regime allows 80C, HRA and other deductions but has higher rates. This simulator calculates the new regime; use the 80C FAQ below to estimate whether the old regime could beat it for you.
Are EPF and Professional Tax included in this simulator?
Yes. Our tax engine automatically deducts your Employee Provident Fund (EPF) contributions and standard professional tax before calculating your final income tax liability.
Does it account for deductions under Section 80C?
Absolutely. The simulator dynamically applies standard deductions and takes into account proposed changes to standard investment exemptions like 80C, HRA, and medical insurance depending on the political platform.
What is my Yearly Take-Home in 2026?
Enter your Annual Gross Salary (वार्षिक वेतन) and pick a Political Party (राजनीतिक दल). The engine deducts EPF, slab tax, surcharge and cess, then adds any direct benefit (Mahalakshmi / AAP utilities).
What does NDA promise?
NDA (BJP) - 2026 Baseline keeps the New Regime but extends the 87A rebate limit from ₹12,00,000 to ₹15,00,000 — zero tax up to 15 Lakh taxable.
What does I.N.D.I.A (Congress) promise?
Mahalakshmi: +₹1,00,000/year cash if gross ≤ ₹5,00,000. Wealth redistribution: 10% cess (instead of 4%) if taxable > ₹50,00,000.
What does AAP promise?
Tax unchanged; +₹36,000/year virtual saving (free electricity, water, transport) if gross ≤ ₹15,00,000.
What is “Difference from Current”?
Your selected party’s Yearly Take-Home minus the NDA 2026 Baseline for the same salary. Positive = Gain, negative = Loss.
