The union budget is to be presented in February

The Union Budget for the financial year 2023-24 is going to be presented in Parliament on February 1. This is the last full budget of the current Modi government before the Lok Sabha elections next year. That is why this year’s budget is significant for both the government and the public. About which various speculations have started in different quarters. A few years ago, the Modi government reduced corporate taxes. Many people hope that personal income tax can be solved in this phase. 

Others are hoping that tax exemption levels may be increased under various sections. Industries will be looking at the budget as well as common people. Especially those who have suffered major financial injuries during the corona infection. And now are under the pressure of high interest rates.
