NITIE's Post Budget Analysis 2017

NITIE's Post Budget Analysis 2017

The Union budget was announced by the Honorable Finance Minister of India, Mr. Arun Jaitley on the 1st of February, 2017.  This budget had many firsts. For the first time the Union budget was announced on the first day of February and not the last. Also, for the first time the Railway budget was not a separate affair, it was clubbed with the Union budget. The highlights of the budget included the focus on pro-poor schemes, huge spending on infrastructure projects and farmer welfare schemes. Not much was changed when it came to the tax structure, besides slashing the tax rate to 5% for the lowest taxable bracket. In fact, indirect taxes were not touched at all as the Goods and Services Tax is expected to become a reality soon.
