INDIA NEWS | Mon, 2 Feb 2026, 12:53AM IST The budget has made an effort to simplify tax collection by proposing threshold and rate changes in tax collected at source (TCS), offering significant relief to overseas travellers, parents with children pursuing foreign education and those going for medical treatment.TCS on education and medical remittances has been lowered to 2% from 5%. Foreign tour packages will also attract a 2% rate instead of 5% (less than 10 lakh) and 20% (beyond 10 lakh).According to Adhil Shetty, CEO of BankBazaar, this will "ease upfront cash-flow pressure and improve affordability". While the 10 lakh threshold continues for education and medical remittances, it has been removed for overseas tour packages. For example, a family spending 15 lakh on a foreign holiday would earlier pay 3 lakh (20%) as TCS, which now falls to 30,000. Similarly, if the spending was 8 lakh, The TCS would have been 40,000 (5%) compared to just 16,000 now. Another key change affects property transactions when resident Indian buy from non-resident ones. Resident buyers can now deduct TDS on purchases of immovable property from non-residents using only their PAN-based challan, without needing a separate tax deduction and collection account number (TAN). This relaxation applies to resident individuals and Hindu Undivided Families, who were earlier required to obtain a TAN even for a one-time property transaction.
