Live analysis of interim Finance Minister Piyush Goyal's budget speech 2019 by India Today editors and experts
Problems for the next FM
The next FM will have to find the money to fulfil these promises...
Nothing about Urban areas
No announcements on smart cities. No talk of urban rejuvenation. Nothing about urban infra...
Jai Jawan, jai kisan, jai middle class
Jai Madhyam varg, Jawan, kisan,: IT rebate of 5 lakhs, 3 lakh crore defence budget and direct transfer for farmers total game changer
Two houses?
Why is the government talking so much about two-house families? Is this a common problem in India?
Feel good announcements
Lots of announcements but ignores the poor track record of delivery so far on most promises
Will this budget create jobs, will it increase processing of fruit & vegetables, will this lead to structural changes #SpeechAnalytica
Farmers have stopped believing in miracles, because it’s been a long time since we’ve had any #SpeechAnalytica
Too little too late?
After 4 yrs of slogans & promises not delivered everything this govt says is discredited by the fact that they said it #SpeechAnalytica
IT changes
A Chartered Accounts budget?
Unsold inventory
Mr Goyal acknowledges the problem of over supply and unsold inventory in realty, proposes relief for builders as well
A big cap ex spend announced is a positive for several sectors.
2030
'Not an Interim Budget but desh ki vikas yatra'. BJP govt has its eye firmly on 2030 now. #SpeechAnalytica
Affordable housing gets a push in #Budget2019.
Lots for house buyers
Several interesting proposals for house buyers -- in terms of tax changes in everything from capital gains on house sale to loans etc
Middle class ke liye kuch nahi kiya was charge against Modi Govt so far. Goyal now making serious attempt to woo middle class #Voternomics19
Middle class
Unlike last year's Budget which overlooked middle class, this one makes a sizeable gesture to the sector. #SpeechAnalytica
IT Exemption in Interim Budget is Improper
Vote-on-account should not lead to revenue burdens for new Govt. in May 2019. Why IT exemptions not done by FM Jaitley in 5 yrs? Why now?
The Tax break
MPs cheer wildly the tax break to middle class. do any of our MPs qualify? Rather doubt it
Modi, Modi, Modi,
FM proposes tax rebate....BJP members chant Modi, Modi, Modi while PM is all smiles
Kicked to report all big announcements @indiatoday we reported were likely in budget have come out to be true. Well done @himanshu_aajtak
