With 8.5 CTC, if you use exemptions properly you would have to pay 0 tax with old regime!
Whereas with new regime you would have to shell out ₹ 36,400/-

The old regime always helps save more in taxes if you're investing right.

Not really. If you don't have any home loan to claim interest then old regime is bad. I don't have much additional options apart from 80C, 80D

And for folks (I'm in 20L+ bracket) with <=7.5L, new tax regime will have 0 tax without any investments. But in old regime, you would have to invest to get to zero tax. So essentially lower in hand.
