PART A

GLOBAL ECONOMY HURT REGRESSIVELY – YET THIS BUDGET PROVIDES A BREATHER

Despite global economy remaining under the grip of policy uncertainties, India’s economic growth continues to be the shining  which has stunned many a purist of economy , its exception and will remain so in the years ahead. Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs Smt Nirmala Sitharaman, while presenting the Union Budget 2024-25 in Parliament today said that India’s inflation continues to be low, stable and moving towards the 4 per cent target.

This if works out to be better and is maintained with the assistance of the Union Government, that will provide much relief to the ones who are salaried and the middle class employeesand the businessman. Core inflation (non-food, non-fuel) currently is 3.1 per cent and steps are being taken to ensure supplies of perishable goods reach market adequately.

Interim Budget

The Finance Minister said that as mentioned in the interim budget, the focus is on 4 major castes, namely  ‘Garib’ (Poor), ‘Mahilayen’ (Women), ‘Yuva’ (Youth) and  ‘Annadata’ (Farmer).

Budget Theme :: This Budget Is A Totality Of Middle Class And The Middle Class Business Group

Dwelling on the Budget theme, Smt Sitharaman said, turning attention to the full year and beyond, in this budget, we particularly focus on employment, skilling, MSMEs, and the middle class. She announced the Prime Minister’s package of 5 schemes and initiatives to facilitate employment, skilling and other opportunities for 4.1 crore youth over a 5-year period with a central outlay of ₹2 lakh crore. This year, 1.48 lakh crore has been allocated for education, employment and skilling.

This budget mainly has been prepared with the focus to incorporate one and sundry who live meagerly with a little or less income but work hard to ensure that they contribute to the nation’s development through their continues effort to enhance the productivity to aid to the swelling of the G.D.P of India. 


Budget Priorities

Priorities and much to say, the aids and the facilities makes the people to breathe easy after the budget is laid on the table. To choose the  MOST BENIFICAL SCHEMES and to pass it to the public , so that the public at large is the beneficiary, there are certain elements that provides the necessary succour to the public at large, and some of them are illustrated here pointwise.This could provide the much necessary relief to the public at large.

The Finance Minister said, for pursuit of ‘ Viksit Bharat ’, the budget envisages sustained efforts on the following 9 priorities for generating ample opportunities for all. 

1.    Productivity and resilience in Agriculture

2.    Employment & Skilling

3.    Inclusive Human Resource Development and Social Justice

4.    Manufacturing & Services

5.    Urban Development  

6.    Energy Security

7.    Infrastructure

8.    Innovation, Research & Development and

9.    Next Generation Reforms

Priority 1: Productivity and resilience in Agriculture

The Finance Minister announced that the government will undertake a comprehensive review of the agriculture research setup to bring the focus on raising productivity. New 109 high-yielding and climate-resilient varieties of 32 field and horticulture crops will be released for cultivation by farmers

This could seta new revolution in the field of HIGHESTPRIORITIES in the set up of the Government to bring about a TOTAL NEW REVOLUTION, in the field of AGRICULTURE.

Priority 2: Employment & Skilling

The Finance Minister said that the government will implement 3 schemes for ‘Employment Linked Incentive’, as part of the Prime Minister’s package. These will be based on enrolment in the EPFO, and focus on recognition of first-time employees, and support to employees and employers. 

Referring to the Skilling programme, the Finance Minister announced a new centrally sponsored scheme, as the 4th scheme under the Prime Minister’s package, for skilling in collaboration with state governments and Industry. 20 lakh youth will be skilled over a 5-year period and 1,000 Industrial Training Institutes will be upgraded in hub and spoke arrangements with outcome orientation. 

She also announced that the Model Skill Loan Scheme will be revised to facilitate loans up to
7.5 lakh with a guarantee from a government promoted Fund, which is expected to help 25,000 students every year.

For helping the youth, who have not been eligible for any benefit under government schemes and policies, she announced a financial support for loans upto 10 lakh for higher education in domestic institutions. E-vouchers for this purpose will be given directly to 1 lakh students every year for annual interest subvention of 3 per cent of the loan amount.

This element is the  MOST REQUIRED AND THE MOST CONJURED in terms of the basic need of the nation.The skill set is so poor of those who come out especially from the weaker section of the society that finishes their studies that they falter and make a  NUISANCE of almost the BEST offered to them.This would make the things come up to the mapping rewquired and this is one of the best that the budget provides and HATS - OFF to Madam Seetharaman for the same as well as to the team for the same.

Priority 3: Inclusive Human Resource Development and Social Justice

Talking about the Saturation approach, the Finance Minister emphasised that implementation of schemes meant for supporting economic activities by craftsmen, artisans, self-help groups, scheduled caste, schedule tribe and women entrepreneurs, and street vendors, such as PM Vishwakarma, PM SVANidhi,  National Livelihood Missions, and Stand-Up India will be stepped up.

Purvodaya

Government will formulate a plan, Purvodaya, for the all-round development of the eastern region of the country covering Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Odisha and Andhra Pradesh.  This will cover human resource development, infrastructure, and generation of economic opportunities to make the region an engine to attain Viksit Bharat.

Pradhan Mantri Janjatiya Unnat Gram Abhiyan

The Finance Minister announced that for improving the socio-economic condition of tribal communities, government will launch the Pradhan Mantri Janjatiya Unnat Gram Abhiyan by adopting saturation coverage for tribal families in tribal-majority villages and aspirational districts covering 63,000 villages and benefitting 5 crore tribal people.

More than 100 branches of India Post Payment Bank will be set up in the North East region to expand the banking services.

She said, a provision of 2.66 lakh crore for rural development including rural infrastructure was made this year.

FOOTNOTE- : This we are hearing every year, everytime inthe budget and every time after the budget is pit on the table. Yet NOTHING has conjured and nothing is seen on the table. that provides this as the resort. Hope the talks are  NOT ON THE AIR BUT OFF IT ON THE GROUND


Priority 4: Manufacturing & Services

Support for promotion of MSMEs

Smt Sitharaman said, this budget provides special attention to MSMEs and manufacturing, particularly labour-intensive manufacturing. A separately constituted self-financing guarantee fund will provide, to each applicant, guarantee cover up to 100 crore, while the loan amount may be larger. Similarly, Public sector banks will build their in-house capability to assess MSMEs for credit, instead of relying on external assessment. She also announced a new mechanism for facilitating continuation of bank credit to MSMEs during their stress period.

Mudra Loans

The limit of Mudra loans will be enhanced to  ₹ 20 lakh from the current  ₹ 10 lakh for those entrepreneurs who have availed and successfully repaid previous loans under the ‘Tarun’ category.

Water Supply and Sanitation

In partnership with the State Governments and Multilateral Development Banks, government  will promote water supply, sewage treatment and solid waste management projects and services for 100 large cities through bankable projects.

PM SVANidhi

She added that building on the success of PM SVANidhi Scheme in transforming the lives of street vendors, Government envisions a scheme to support each year, over the next five years, the development of 100 weekly ‘haats’ or street food hubs in select cities.

Footnote - :  I really HOPE  that THIS IS NOT DONE TO COLLECT THE VOTE AND ENLARGE THE VOTE - BANK ,  but really as a SOCIAL MEASURE  to engineer the social needs and satisfy the needs of those who would be the benificiaries of the same. 

Priority 6: Energy Security

The Finance Minister said, in line with the announcement in the interim budget, PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana has been launched to install rooftop solar plants to enable 1 crore households obtain free electricity up to 300 units every month. The scheme has generated remarkable response with more than 1.28 crore registrations and 14 lakh applications. 

Nuclear energy is expected to form a very significant part of the energy mix for Viksit Bharat

Foot Note -  :: The entire nation and the strategy of the same ought to be  SHIFT TO THE SOLAR SYSTEMS  of producing energy. That will help to reduce the UNWANTED POLLUTION  and would ensure the GREEN ENVIRONMENT which if not made in the next  FIVE YEARS, the  NATION would die of TUBERCULOSIS  and  HEART ATTACK due to carbon in the air.This the PRIME MINISTER ought to take it very seriously and so the Government of the day

Priority 7: Infrastructure

The Finance Minister underlined that significant investment the Central Government has made over the years in building and improving infrastructure has had a strong multiplier effect on the economy. Government will endeavour to maintain strong fiscal support for infrastructure over the next 5 years, in conjunction with imperatives of other priorities and fiscal consolidation. 11,11,111 crore for capital expenditure has been allocated this year, which is 3.4 per cent of our GDP

Foot - Note - :: Infrastructure is the only mode  WHICH CAN ENGAGE ABOUT MORE THAN 45 CRORES of LABOURERS on the job , every year. This would make the MICRO - ECONOMY to really swell and stand on the FEET for themselves to contribute to the G.D.P of India and that would be an enormous achievement if this Government really achieves that. 
The concept of MAKING MICRO ECONOMY STRONEGR THAN THE MACRO - AN IDEA WHICH WAS GENERATED  in 1956 but which could not see the fulfillment would see the NEW INDIA  making its economy so strong by the MICRO - MANAGEMENT of economy which would be a  NEW GIFT by the Indian Economist to the WORLD. 
.
Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY)

PART B ;;This will act as a '' GRIGNARD - REAGENT"if successfully implied

Apart from giving relief to four crore salaried individuals and pensioners of the country in the direct taxes, Union Budget 2024-25 seeks to comprehensively review the direct and indirect taxes in the next six months, simplifying them, reducing tax incidence and compliance burdens and broadening the tax nets. The Budget proposes comprehensive rationalization of GST tax structure along with review of the Custom Duty rate structure to improve the tax base and support domestic manufacturing. A comprehensive review of Income – Tax Act is targeted at reducing disputes and litigations and to make the act lucid, concise and easy to read. Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman said that simplification of tax regimes without exemptions and deductions for corporate and personal income tax has been appreciated by tax payers as over 58 per cent of corporate tax came from simplified tax regime in 2022-23 and more than two third tax payers have switched over to the new personal income tax regime.

Further, a simpler tax regime for foreign shipping companies operating domestic cruises is proposed looking at the tremendous potential of cruise tourism. Foreign mining companies selling raw diamonds in the country can now benefit from safe harbor rates which will benefit the diamond industry. Further, corporate tax rate on foreign companies reduced from 40 to 35 per cent to attract foreign capital.

Budget further simplified the direct tax regime for charities, TDS rate structure and capital gains taxation. The two tax exemption regimes for charities will be merged into one. 5 per cent TDS on many payments to be merged into 2 per cent TDS and 20 per cent TDS on repurchase of units by mutual funds or UTI stands withdrawn. TDS rate on e-commerce operators reduced from 1 per cent to 0.1 per cent. Now credit of TCS will be given on TDS deducted from salary. Budget decriminalized delay of payment of TDS up to the due date of filing of TDS statement. Standard Operating Procedure soon for simplified and rationalized compounding guidelines for TDS defaults.

On Capital gains, short term gains shall henceforth attract a rate of 20 per cent on certain financial assets. Long term gains on all financial and non-financial assets to attract 12.5 per cent rate. Limit of exemption of capital gains has been increased to 1.25 Lakh per year to benefit lower and middle-income classes. Listed financial assets held for more than a year and unlisted assets (financial and non-financial) held for more than two years to be classified as long term assets. Unlisted bonds and debentures, debt mutual funds and market linked debentures will continue to attract applicable capital gains tax.

Acknowledging that GST has decreased tax incidence on common man and terming it as a success of vast proportions, Union Finance Minister Smt Nirmala Sitharaman said that GST has reduced compliance burden and logistics cost for trade and industry. Now the Government envisages further simplifying and rationalizing the tax structure to expand it to remaining sectors. Budget also proposed to further digitalise and make paperless the remaining services of Customs and Income Tax including rectification and order giving effect to appellate orders over the next two years.

Custom duties have been revised to rationalize and revise them for ease of trade and reduction of disputes.

Further to reduce litigation and provide certainty in international taxation, scope of safe harbour rules to be expanded and transfer pricing assessment procedure to be streamlined.

The Final Assessment Of This Budget - This Budget Requires Finance From The Lateral Sources 

How is this budget. I have put certain footnote whereever I felt that the budget needs some careful handling. There are certain points where I have not put anything in terms of the comments. 

In my own assessment THIS IS A DEFICIT BUDGET.After TEN YEARS OF REIN, and that too ruling the nation with an ABSOLUTE  majority, the Government the, , for all those ten years, kept on putting up a budget to rake in the moolahs and that they did in in a big way.

When you prepare a DEFICIT BUDGET, you need the money to be added to the budget at the time of the distress and need. Our  SURPLUS  FOREIGN RESERVE really adds to the  CONFIDENCE and as such, if the money is needed, we have  ENOUGH,  in fact more than enough to add and bring those money on the table to fulfil our requirement.That is one of the BEST thing that the MODI Governmnt has done so far in the last ONE DECADE.

Every sphere has been taken care of in a meaningful manner and in the best possible way. However there are certain grey areas which the Government ought to lay stress upon, as these sector would finally be a  BACK - PINCH on the Government.

These arenas are- ::

1 ). G.S.T - THERE ARE CERTAIN FLAWS ON THE TAXES APPLIED ON THE BASIC NECCESSITY NEEDS AND THE COMMONLY USED ARTICLES. THIS OUGHT TO BE IMMEDIATELY TAKEN CARE OF AND REMEDIES APPLIED.

2 ) . DEFENSE SECTOR - 

The defense sector immediately needs  ARMS and employment in terms of personnels to be raised.We need about  SIX LAKHS of the people all young strong jawans, between the age group of 18 years at the minimum and 22 years as the maximum, in the Army, as artilliers, and soldiers to fight upfront on the field, be it mountains be it terrains or otherwise.

Of this 6 lakhs we need about 1,00,000  COMMANDOES, about 50,000 each in  AIR FORCE  and  NAVY in the different sections and departments to fight the war in case if there is a war, and we need about 20 S-400 ,  ABOUT 100 MORE RAFAELS,,  ABOUT 300 TO 400 canons  A WELL MEASURED TANKS, AT LEAST AS PER MY COUNTS.

Without the same,  WE CANNOT MATCH TO FIGHT THE TWO - AND - A - HALF - WAR, which my  SIXTH SENSE can really feel it and can visualise the same and  THAT IS BOUND TO HAPPEN between the year 2025 to 2026.If that happens China, Pakistan and the internal BASTARDS OF INDIA, WHO ARE WAITING TO  LAUNCH INTO ALL  assault WHENEVER IT HAPPENS

At that moment, India will have to fight the three cornered  THE TWO AND A HALF BATTLE or the war in ONE stage of a time and  WE HAVE LOST TEN VALUABLE YEARS TO BUILD OUR FUTURE STRENGTH ON THESE LINES

The kind of the  RESERVES  that we have ought to be spend on these elements and needs of the nation. The needs of the nation right from 2008 was to increase the strength of the defense in an phased manner BUT NO GOVERNMENT EVER THOUGHT ON THIS AND THESE LINES. 

The CONGRESS hardly thinks about the nation, on these lines.It only thinks ABOUT THE  NEHRU - GANDHI family , and take their  WHIMSICAL policies which BUTCHERS the nation. 

Much was expected by the B.J.P in this matter with Mr Modi as the saviour, but in this matter he has also DISSAPOINTED 

 YOU CANNOT CEASE OVER THE FIGHTS JUST BY TALKS AND NON - VIOLENCE 

" EVERYBODY HAS THE " MOUTH " , BUT NO-BODY HAS THE EARS TO " LISTEN " TO THE MOUTH "

I hope that this budget does not proves that ADAGE  true.

IN MY OWN POINTS, I GIVE A  " 5/10 " MARKS TO THIS BUDGET

Jai Bharat

That Is It and that speaks all about it 

.Regards and Thanks
