Budget 2026-27 doesn’t give the middle class huge tax cuts as slabs stayed the same, so many salaried folks feel let down. Some small relief comes from easier compliance, lower TCS on overseas education/medical remittances and tax-free motor accident interest but overall cost-of-living relief is modest. Investors might feel some new taxes bite and everyday items could get pricier. So middle class sees no big boon, just small tweaks.
