Budget 2025: Middle-Class Relief, Tax Reforms & Economic Growth | Mohandas Pai Decodes | NewsX

[@parbatisankardubey6319]

India is growing but its people are drowning, particularly middle class.

[@WestMarshall589]

Normally this only happens we will similarly end up like Japan middleclass

[@antonyjohnpeter549]

Agreed 👍

[@ankushmukherjee3219]

Relax, they had to cut down the deficit so there was no room to cut taxes until now and in fact realistically tax cuts prolly should be delayed till next year. We are paying the price for negative nominal GDP and massive increase in deficits in covid, in form of higher taxes today

[@antonyjohnpeter549]

@ankushmukherjee3219 We are paying taxes, to give loans to the rich, and if they fail, the loans will be written off.

[@ankushmukherjee3219]

@antonyjohnpeter549 Recovery process remains on for written off loans btw, duh. Indias main problem now I'd lack of job creation and wage growth, eveyhtjng else is quite good tbh.

[@shashisharma4355]

Nirmala Sitaraman needed to be shunted out from FM. Freebies needed to be stopped forthwith for all except Adivasis. Even a Labourer working earns 20000/- per month and then gets free ration, Electricity, Water etc with everything to take and nothin on stake to contribute for countries infrastructure. Modi needs to understand this. No Scholarships to SC/ST but to all weaker sections of society should be included. There are numerous changes required with Health and Education getting priority. Government Teachers needed to be made responsible for poor results in the Government Schools. A Binding on All Teachers and Government Staff for enrolling their children only in Government Schools. Infrastructure Spending on Creating And Maintaining Good Government Schools. .

4 5 years back, the budget was called as long term in nature, but after 5 years, there are no benefits. So what is the long term mean? Out of Total budget only 20% should be on long term 20% short term upto 3 years 60% spend for the fiscal year

[@roypynadath5820]

Our PM should consider Mr . Pai as FM of our country for remaining term .

We are paying indirect tax on everything so, therr should be no income tax on employees. We get no benofits from government, no freebies. When we lose job they don't provide unemployment benifits then why tax?

[@caddraj1973]

Everything is screwed up with very high taxes. Everywhere there is tax. With this budget the prices will remain to high. Nothing will change. I was checking for hotels for a family trip for 3 days, the taxes starts from 7000 to 14000. Government earns money without any pain. What kind of enjoyment should I have as a middle class.

To welcome new investers and also to encourage the existing investors/Traders, Governemt should reduce the Short Term Capital Gain Tax from the existing 20% to 5% considering the frequent crashes and the resultant loss of lakhs and lakhs of Rupees. Security Transaction Tax and GST has also to be removed to support Indian Stock Market Investors/Traders. This has to be proposed and passed in the UNION BUDGET IMMEDIATELY. Please take it up with the concerned authorities and implement the same very shortly.

[@krishnamoorthysarma9589]

Yes. Govt already says fuelbprices can't come down. So if taxes also remain high, it will be hard on middle class. And time immemorial experts say that only 2% pay taxes. It can't be especially after system improvement,, implementation of "big data" analytics, etc. So how come more tax payers not getting added. Difficult to go with experts view.

[@balasubramanianmudisoodump2474]

Income tax paying individuals look like fools. They pay income tax and gst. Abolish income tax its stupidity to pay income tax and gst on every item bought using tax(income) paid money. If you couldn't abolish income tax then give input tax credit for the goods or services paid via income taxed money. If average gst is 18℅ then a 30℅ income paying individual willbpay around 48℅(30℅+18℅) as tax.this is like working 11 days out if 22 days to pay tax for the government. What government is providing security everything charged directly from us. Education cess, road tax water tax, property tax. Instead of Paying 50% of money a 30℅ tax paying individuals can from small groups and hire security personnels and by the way they generate employment and pay tax only for military personnel who secure the nation.

[@PrabhakarGuptaSunku]

We need simple tax system, including easy tax filing system. Stop taxing savings account interst and FD interest. Scrap Capital gains tax on shares and MF's, STT can be suitably enhanced.

[@sooribabu123]

salaried income tax payers are very very low in india. just about 1%. Even though they are paying sky high income tax, govt wont support these if they lose the job. So, we demand the union govt. to stop looting this section until we get atleast 33% of the indian public become income tax payers. Its really colonial in thinking that govt. shall tax every in existence. If Modiji fail to eradicate salaried non rich income tax, We demand Congress party to come up with such promise. Its really non sense to see such thumb nails expecting tax relief, inflation, raise the tax bracket from 7 lakhs to 10 lakhs etc. these makes no sense for the middle class. Why only 10% of non rich has to pay double taxes income tax + GST)? Define what income is to be rich in india and start income tax from that point only. Additionally, any tax brackets shall be linked to the inflation not based on the discretion of the finance ministry. Public and media shall not beg the finance ministry.
