Budget 2026 didn’t bring big tax cuts or loud announcements, but it quietly changed a lot under the hood. In this episode, we break down what today’s Budget actually means for markets, investors, and traders. We talk about the buyback tax change and why it closes a loophole, how F&O trading just got more expensive, and why the government seems serious about cooling speculation. We also cover the MAT cut, the manufacturing push, and what all of this means for sectors, mutual funds, and long-term investing. If you want a clear, no-noise take on Budget 2026 and how it affects your money, this episode will help you connect the dots.
