This option is given by inserting new section 115 BAC, but if assessee choose new slab which are appears to be beneficial then assessee have to forgo some of the exemptions which were allowed with old slab rate. List of exemptions withdrawn is given below:-

  • Interest under section 24 in respect of self-occupied or vacant property referred to in sub-section (2) of section 23. (Loss under the head income from house property for rented house shall not be allowed to be set off under any other head and would be allowed to be carried forward as per extant law);
  • Additional deprecation under clause (iia) of sub-section (1) of section 32;

However, deduction under sub-section (2) of section 80CCD (employer contribution on account of employee in notified pension scheme) and section 80JJAA (for new employment) can be claimed.
  • Set off of any loss,-carried forward or depreciation from any earlier assessment year, if such loss or depreciation is attributable to any of the deductions referred to in (a) above; or under the head house property with any other head of income; is not allowed.
  • As many allowances have  been  provided  through  notification  of  rules,  it  is  proposed  to  carry  out  amendment  of  the Income-tax Rules, 1962 (the Rules) subsequently, so as to allow only following allowances notified under section 10(14) of the Act to the Individual or HUF exercising option under the proposed section: (1) Transport Allowance granted to a divyang employee to meet expenditure for the purpose of commuting between place of residence and place of duty (2)Conveyance Allowance granted to meet the expenditure on conveyance in performance of duties of an office;
    (3)Any Allowance granted to meet the cost of travel on tour or on transfer;(4)Daily Allowance to meet the ordinary daily charges incurred by an employee on account of absence from his normal place of duty.

    But remember finance bill 2019 is yet to be passed, we may see some amendment in the finance bill before passing.
