Terrible Budget
Once upon a time, PM and his Govt asked people to give up their LPG subsidy. 1.13 crore people, mostly middle class, gave up that subsidy voluntarily. It is not that middle class does not want to help India's growth story. It is not that they don't want India's poor to benefit. It is just that they want to know why can't they get some relief? What have they gotten after 10 years of patience?
And what relief do they want? They don't want the world from you. They just want to live honestly. Their children's school fee increases 10% every year. Their doctor's fees has doubled, even tripled, in last 10 years. Their house rent increases a minimum of 10% every year. Have their salaries increased in the same quantum? Heck, you have added insult to injury by increasing LTCG!
This is a demoralising budget without any imagination. It will percolate through all the sections of society. If you think rural Bharat will be with you, this negativity will affect them too.
I wonder if Modiji comes today and asks people to forego their subsidies voluntarily, would they? more

It is most unfortunate for middle class Senior Citizens retirees from private sector who do not get pension. FM is blindly presenting anti people budget proposals given to her by Babus. FM is not affected by such proposals. The retirees from private sector have paid income tax till retirement and contributed to Nation Building for 35 to 40 years are now being rewarded with: 1. No rail travel concession 2. Lower interest rate on SCSS 2004 scheme 3. No relief in income tax for Senior Citizens and Super Senior Citizens in this budget. 4. Indexation removed for LTCG on house property, instead of removing LTCG totally. 5. 18% GST on members of Cooperative Housing Societies on their contribution towards common expenses from their tax paid income. more
