One of the key changes in the Finance Act 2025 is the increase in the income limit for tax-free medical reimbursements. The previous limit of ₹1 lakh has been raised to ₹2 lakh, making it easier for employees to claim medical expenses without worrying about taxation. This change will particularly benefit salaried individuals who incur significant medical costs.

Additionally, the limits for tax-free rent-free housing provided by employers have also been raised. The previous cap of ₹30,000 has been increased to ₹50,000, offering greater financial flexibility for employees who benefit from such housing perks.

These changes are expected to ease the financial strain on salaried taxpayers and encourage a higher level of compliance with tax regulations. With these adjustments, the government hopes to create a more equitable taxation system for the salaried class, reflecting the growing needs of modern employees.
