Budget 2026: Major Relief for Married Couples Through Joint Tax Filing System?
January 19, 2026, Joint Tax System: New provisions may be introduced in Budget 2026-27 to allow married couples in India to benefit from tax concessions. The availability of a joint tax filing facility could reduce the tax burden. This would allow for combined taxation on the income of both husband and wife, potentially leading to significant savings.
Currently, India follows an individual tax filing system, requiring couples to file taxes separately. However, with a joint tax system, the spouse with lower income could receive tax benefits. This system has been successful in countries like Europe and the United States.
This change is expected in Budget 2026, which would benefit middle-class families. According to experts, this step will also be beneficial for the economic empowerment of women. Further details will be available after the government's official announcement.
