💼 Your salary benefits are changing from April 2026. The new rules under the Income Tax Rules, 2026 will impact how perks and allowances are taxed. 📌 What changes for you: 🏠 HRA benefit expanded More cities like Bengaluru, Pune, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad may now qualify for higher exemption limits. 🚗 Company car gets costlier (tax-wise) Higher taxable value means you may pay more tax on this perk. 🍱 Meal cards updated Still useful mainly under the old tax regime, with revised limits. 💸 Employer loans clarified Interest-free or low-interest loans will have clearer tax treatment. 🎓 Education & hostel allowance increased. Higher limits can reduce taxable income for those using the old regime. 📊 Bigger shift • More disclosure requirements • Stricter compliance • Less scope for misuse 📌 Key takeaway: Same salary does not mean same savings anymore. Your tax outcome depends on how your salary is structured and which regime you choose.
