Budget 2025 introduced a new tax regime that simplifies the tax structure and reduces the overall tax burden on individuals, including homebuyers. It also includes increased tax deductions for home loans and the exemption of second properties from tax for notional rental income.
The exemption of notional rental income means that owners of second homes are no longer required to pay tax on the estimated rent their property could generate if it were rented out. This reduces their financial burden and makes it more attractive to own multiple properties.
First-time homebuyers can benefit from increased tax deductions for home loans and subsidies and grants for low-income families. These measures are designed to make homeownership more affordable and accessible.
The government has allocated funds for the development of affordable housing projects. This will increase the availability of affordable homes and create job opportunities in the construction and related sectors.
The measures in Budget 2025 are expected to stabilize the real estate market by reducing the tax burden and introducing financial incentives. This can lead to increased economic activity and growth, making homeownership more attainable for more people.
