principal repayment etc.), Section 80D (medical insurance premium), tax breaks on HRA (House Rent Allowance) and on interest paid on housing loan. Tax breaks for
the disabled and for charitable donations will also go. Therefore, it is not clear as to whether the new personal tax regime will really bring substantial tax savings for
most.
