Union Budget 2026

📊 Union Budget 2026 – Key Tax Takeaways

Union Budget 2026 is clearly an income-tax driven Budget, with strong emphasis on procedural reforms, compliance rationalisation and penalty restructuring, while GST changes remain limited following the 56th GST Council recommendations.

At P Chhajed & Co LLP – Chartered Accountants, we analysed and summarised almost all the proposals in our presentation.

📌 This year, special emphasis has been given to presenting the amendments in a tabular format, with a clear comparison of earlier provisions vis-à-vis amendments proposed in the Budget, for better clarity and practical understanding.

🔗 Additionally, the presentation has been structured with topic-wise hyperlinking of slides, allowing readers to navigate directly to specific provisions of interest.

Key focus areas include:

🔹 MAT regime rationalisation
🔹 Extended timelines for revised and updated returns
🔹 Reassessment clarifications – Sections 148 & 148A
🔹 Re-alignment of search & block assessment timelines
🔹 Conversion of penalties into automatic fees – a major compliance shift
🔹 Heightened penalties for under-reporting & crypto transactions
🔹 Key changes in TDS/TCS, IFSC, share buy-back & F&O taxation

⏱️ Prepared under a tight timeline of two days with Budget Day on a Sunday, this analysis reflects our commitment to deliver timely and practical tax insights.
