What is the rationale to introduce this regime?

simplification and rationalization of tax provisions. The old regime of taxation provides for many exemptions deductions subject to certain conditions and documentation requirements. This makes the claim of exemption or deduction complex and cumbersome. To ease this process, new regime was introduced.
