Big changes in Budget 2026-27 that affect YOUR insurance and taxes.
If you own a vehicle, hold a non-life insurance policy, or have ever dealt with a motor accident claim โ these 3 reforms from the Union Budget 2026-27 directly affect you.
Here is what changed:
โ
Motor Accident Compensation is now TAX-FREE
Compensation received from tribunal awards is fully exempt from income tax. Victims get their complete relief โ no deductions.
โ
TDS on MACT Interest โ REMOVED
The government has eliminated Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on interest awarded by the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, regardless of the amount. Your money. In full.
โ
Non-Life Insurance Accounting โ Made Fairer
Insurance companies can now claim deductions in the year taxes are actually paid โ removing the unfair practice of double-counting income.
These reforms make India's insurance and tax framework more just, more transparent, and more people-friendly.
