Interim Budge 2024

The Interim Budget is a fiscally responsible one and its laudable that the Government has chosen the path of financial prudence rather than being tempted to go for populist measures in an election year. The FM has kept things simple and stuck to the principles of predictability by proposing no tax rate changes and minor amendments. There is a continued thrust on sustainable development and meeting the net zero target by 2070 through various initiatives particularly the rooftop solarisation project which will provide 300 units of free electricity per month to 1 crore households. The fiscal deficit target being reduced to 5.1% for next year is heartening and shows that the Government will walk a tight rope on controlling its debt while continuing its aggressive push for infrastructure development.
