5 Ways The New Income Tax Act Changes Your Take Home Pay This Month
The new Income Tax Act, which goes into effect on April 1, 2026, affects take-home pay by providing substantial tax deductions for employee benefits (such as meals, gifts, and education) under the previous system, extending HRA benefits to further cities, and changing PF contributions as a result of wage restructuring. The main goal of these adjustments is to reduce the tax burden while reorganizing pay to increase long-term savings. In addition to the metro areas, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Pune are now covered by the 50% HRA exemption level, providing more tax relief in these cities. Benefits include tax-free business meal cards up to ₹200 each meal (formerly ₹50) and tax-free gift cards up to ₹15,000 per year.
