New Delhi, Feb 3 (TIWN) Opting for the new tax rates proposed in the budget could be beneficial for job-starters, pensioners, entrepreneurs and those taxpayers unable to claim available deductions and exemptions under the current tax structure, government sources said.

"Therefore, they end up paying more tax in the old regime as against the new one. In the new proposed tax regime, such people will definitely be gainers," an official said.
