New tax rules for real estate investments come into effect on April 1, 2026, offering clarity and stability in key areas. The capital gains taxation framework remains unchanged, allowing buyers and sellers to make decisions based on their timing rather than tax uncertainties. Rajani Kant Mishra, founder of Amrawati Group, emphasized that this stability is beneficial for property transactions. A significant update is the tax exemption for compensation received under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (RFCTLARR Act), which will help landowners affected by acquisitions. From October 1, 2026, the compliance burden for buyers purchasing from non-resident sellers will ease, as the requirement for a Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN) will be removed. This change aims to simplify cross-border transactions, according to E Lakshminarayana Reddy, CEO of EARA Group. Additionally, tax benefits for home loans remain unchanged, supporting affordability for first-time buyers. Overall, the new tax regime emphasizes stability and compliance, allowing individuals to plan their property decisions with greater confidence.
