A ring $R$ is called semiregular if $R/J$ is regular and idem-potents lift modulo $J$, where $J$ denotes the Jacobson radical of $R$. We give some characterizations of rings $R$ such that idempotents lift modulo $J$, and $R/J$ satisfies one of the following conditions: (one-sided) unit-regular, strongly regular, (unit, strongly, weakly) ${pi}$-regular.
