Union Budget 2026 Expectations –
CA Milin Bakhai, Partner – Direct Tax at N. A. Shah Associates LLP, shares his budget expectations on addressing practical challenges in implementing TDS on partner remuneration under section 194T :-

“Section 194T, introduced by the Finance Act, 2024 and effective from 1 April 2025, mandates TDS on partner remuneration and allied payments at the time of payment or credit, whichever is earlier. However, its implementation poses practical difficulties.

• Partner remuneration is typically determined and credited only at year end after finalisation of accounts in accordance with section 40(b). As no periodic credit is made during the year, uncertainty arises regarding the exact timing of TDS and whether notional accruals could trigger liability.
• Partners frequently withdraw amounts from their capital or current accounts during the year, which are subsequently adjusted against remuneration. Such withdrawals are in the nature of drawings and do not constitute remuneration at the time of withdrawal; however, there is a risk of these being misconstrued as “payment” for the purposes of section 194T. In addition, uncertainty persists as to whether excess capital withdrawals could be regarded as remuneration.

In order to remove such practical challenges, a suitable amendment is expected in the forthcoming Budget or through a CBDT circular to ensure efficient, uniform, and dispute-free implementation of section 194T.”

Union Budget 2026 Expectations –
CA Hitesh Jain, Partner – Direct Tax at N. A. Shah Associates LLP, shares his budget expectations on clarity and allowability of ESOP expenditure under the Income-tax Act :-

“The continued absence of explicit tax provisions on the deductibility of ESOP expenses has become a serious policy gap that Budget 2026 can no longer ignore. ESOPs are no longer discretionary incentives but a core component of employee compensation, particularly for start-ups, technology companies, and multinational groups competing for global talent. Despite this commercial reality, employers in India routinely face disallowance of ESOP expenditure due to lack of statutory clarity, even where the corresponding perquisite value is fully taxed in the hands of employees upon exercise, resulting in clear economic double taxation. The issue is further aggravated in cross-border group structures where ESOPs are granted by foreign holding companies but the economic cost is borne by, and recharged to, the Indian subsidiary employing the staff. In such cases, deductions are frequently denied on technical grounds, despite the expense being wholly and exclusively incurred for Indian business operations. The uncertainty also extends to the method of computation and the year of allowability—whether at grant, vesting, or exercise—forcing companies into avoidable litigation on what is essentially an employee compensation cost. Budget 2026 offers a critical opportunity to address this anomaly by explicitly recognising ESOP expenditure, including ESOPs granted by foreign holding companies, as an allowable business deduction, prescribing a uniform computation mechanism aligned with accounting standards, and synchronising the employer’s deduction with employee-level taxation. Such clarity would materially reduce disputes, improve ease of doing business, and strengthen India’s credibility as a stable and predictable tax jurisdiction for multinational and talent-driven enterprises.”

Union Budget 2026 Expectations
CA Jitendra Patel, Partner – Indirect Tax at N. A. Shah Associates LLP, shares his Union Budget 2026 expectations on GST reforms :-

“Since the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), the authorities have issued multiple amendments, notifications, and circulars with the intent of resolving practical difficulties faced by businesses and ensuring uniformity in tax administration. However, despite the best of efforts by them, divergent interpretations and inconsistent implementation at the field level continue to create significant challenges for taxpayers.

In many cases, authorities have taken positions contrary to clear statutory provisions, notifications, and departmental clarifications, resulting in unwarranted demand notices and a substantial increase in litigation. The lack of consistency across tax authorities particularly in matters relating to valuation and procedural compliance has diluted the core objective of GST, which was envisioned as a simple and dispute-minimizing tax regime.

Businesses, especially those operating across multiple States, are frequently subjected to parallel proceedings by both Central and State authorities for the same tax period. This duplication leads to excessive compliance burden, increased costs, and avoidable disputes. Trade bodies advocate for a centralized or coordinated audit framework to avoid overlap, streamline administration, and reduce litigation. Additionally, the system should move towards a transparent, faceless, and taxpayer-friendly administration.

In summary, industry reiterates the need for a GST administration that prioritizes simplicity, consistency, reducing litigation, and a trust-based approach to governance, in line with the original vision of the GST framework.”

Budget Expectations
With Union Budget 2026 on the horizon, CA Chintan Ghelani, Partner – Direct Tax at N. A. Shah Associates LLP, shares his expectations on Affordable Housing – Targeted Tax Relief for Builders and Homebuyers.

He states that “the Union Budget presents an opportunity to realign fiscal policy with the ground realities of the affordable housing segment. One of the most critical expectations from Union Budget 2026 is the reintroduction of a profit-linked tax incentive for developers undertaking affordable housing projects, on lines similar to the erstwhile section 80-IBA, which had demonstrably improved supply. Equally important is revisiting the definition of “affordable housing” by rationalizing price caps and area limits, particularly for metropolitan cities where costs have escalated significantly over the last decade. On the demand side, enhancement of deductions for home loan interest and principal repayment—especially for first-time buyers—would provide meaningful relief and stimulate genuine end-user demand. From a holistic tax perspective, rationalization of GST on construction inputs and reduction in transaction costs such as stamp duty would materially improve affordability and revive housing-led economic activity.”

Budget Expectations
As the Union Budget 2026 approaches, CA Milan Mody, Managing Partner at N. A. Shah Associates LLP, outlines expectations for growth, stability and investment.

He points out that despite global challenges, India’s foremost priority remains sustained economic growth, which will require a stable and predictable tax environment. A renewed push to attract foreign direct investment is expected, alongside measures that encourage businesses to take calculated risks.

He emphasizes that access to credit at competitive rates will be critical in enabling enterprises to expand and invest. Consumers have received significant incentives in recent years; the focus of this Budget is therefore expected to shift towards supporting businesses. Targeted incentives for key sectors could provide the necessary momentum. In an era of tariff wars and geopolitical uncertainty, policymakers will need to strike a careful balance between global integration and self-sufficiency. Reducing litigation, simplifying compliance, and addressing administrative bottlenecks remain urgent priorities.

He further highlights that corporates are looking for certainty, stability, and a measured push to undertake fresh capital investments. While no significant changes are anticipated in direct tax rates or GST rates, several incremental measures are expected. These small but meaningful steps could go a long way in improving business confidence, strengthening the overall economic environment, and enhancing the ease of doing business.

He further highlighted the need for clarifications on long pending ITC disputes arising from mismatches, vendor non-compliance and retrospective GSTIN cancellations which could significantly lead to ease of litigation
