Budget 2025: Tax Relief on Two Homes, ₹15,000 Cr SWAMIH Fund & Urban Growth Push Real Estate Forward

The Union Budget 2025-26 brings significant tax relief for homeowners, allowing tax exemptions on two self-occupied properties instead of one. This progressive move enhances homeownership benefits, reducing notional rental tax burdens and making real estate investments more attractive. Additionally, the budget introduces a ₹15,000 crore infusion into the SWAMIH Fund to accelerate stalled housing projects, boosting market confidence.
