What Homebuyers Gained from Budget 2025 – More savings, tax perks & more

The Union Budget 2025 has emerged as a game-changer for homebuyers, offering multiple tax benefits and incentives. From easing taxation policies to boosting affordable housing, the government’s initiatives are set to have a lasting impact on the real estate sector and homebuyers.

Be it tax reforms under the new tax regime or exempting second property from tax for notional rental income are some of the key announcements made by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Saturday. Here is all homebuyers are going to get from Budget 2025:

One of the most significant takeaways from the budget is the increase in the tax rebate under the new tax regime. Individuals earning up to Rs 12 lakh per annum (Rs 12.75 lakh for salaried employees) will pay no personal income tax.

For example, in the case of a home loan, assuming an interest rate of 9% and a tenure of 20 years, a person’s loan eligibility could increase by Rs 10-11 lakh. This is because the additional Rs 10,000 in disposable income can be utilized for servicing EMIs, making homeownership more accessible,” says Raoul Kapoor, Co-CEO, Andromeda Sales and Distribution Pvt Ltd.
