According to the explanatory memorandum to the Finance Bill, taxpayers having business income are not eligible to choose between the existing tax regime and new tax regime every year. This would mean that salaried individuals and pensioners would be eligible to switch between new tax regime and old tax regime as per their convenience every year provided they don't have business income.
