The provided text clarifies the deductions available under different default tax regimes for the Assessment Year (AY) 2025-26. These regimes include Section 115BAA (domestic companies), 115BAB (new domestic manufacturing companies), 115BAC (individuals, HUFs, etc.), 115BAD (cooperative societies), and 115BAE (new manufacturing cooperative societies). A tabular summary highlights key differences. For instance, individuals under Section 115BAC can claim a standard deduction, professional tax, and house rent allowance, which are not available to other entities or regimes. However, individuals cannot claim deductions under Sections 80C, 80D, or other Chapter VI-A sections. Similarly, while normal depreciation is allowed across all regimes, additional depreciation is not. The summary further notes that deductions for interest on house property loans are available for individuals under Section 115BAC, but not for new manufacturing companies under 115BAB. The text serves as a quick reference to help taxpayers identify which deductions are applicable to them based on their chosen tax regime, simplifying the filing process.
