Using self-service comparison tools helps workers identify their ₹3.75L–₹4.25L deduction break-even point to pick the right regime early. While structured mid-year switches are manageable, an automated regime lock by early January is essential to prevent massive year-end catch-up tax spikes and ensure audit-proof quarterly TDS filings.
