Aligning deductions across tax regimes and ensuring parity between life insurance, annuity, and pension products would not only simplify compliance but also create a more equitable and predictable tax environment for policyholders.  The observations reflect a broader industry expectation that Budget 2026 will adopt a forward-looking approach to insurance taxation one that balances revenue considerations with the need to deepen financial security and retirement planning across India.  For detailed insights visit: [https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/personal-finance/budget-2026-could-reshape-insurance-taxation-as-industry-seeks-wider-deductions-parity-13801555.html](https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/personal-finance/budget-2026-could-reshape-insurance-taxation-as-industry-seeks-wider-deductions-parity-13801555.html)  --- ## Office Locations - [New Delhi](https://ksandk.com/locations/top-corporate-law-firm-in-delhi/) (HQ): +91-11-41318190 | info@ksandk.com - [Mumbai](https://ksandk.com/locations/top-corporate-law-firm-in-mumbai/): 3 offices (Nariman Point, Lower Parel, Andheri) | mumbai@ksandk.com - [Bangalore](https://ksandk.com/locations/top-corporate-law-firm-in-bangalore/): bangalore@ksandk.com - [Chennai](https://ksandk.com/locations/chennai/): chennai@ksandk.com - [Hyderabad](https://ksandk.com/locations/hyderabad/): hyderabad@ksandk.com - [Pune](https://ksandk.com/locations/pune/): pune@ksandk.com - [Kochi](https://ksandk.com/locations/kochi/): kochi@ksandk.com ## Contact - [Contact Page](https://ksandk.com/contact-us/) - General: info@ksandk.com | +91-11-41318190 - WhatsApp: +91-7428567444 - [Privacy Statement](https://ksandk.com/privacy-statement/) - [Terms of Use](https://ksandk.com/terms-of-use/)
