8 OUR EXPERT S OPINION ON THE BUDGET Mayur Batra, Founder & President "Vision for the next 10 years is a balancing act between farm distress, middle-class aspiration, salaried employees & growth with a decent outcome on fiscal deficit. Changes in assessment and get in procedures will lead to cut in inefficiency as well as red tape. More money in hands of consumers should lead to spur in demand, superb for the industries! Initiatives on artificial intelligence and clean energy is the future. Impressive and positive for India. Seems like a win-win!" Amit Sachdev, COO "Interim Budget 2019 was the last budget of the current government on completion of their elected term of 5 years. It is being termed as a medium of the country s development journey and highlights various achievements, efforts and measures taken by the government. Our nation is being recognized as bright spot and positioned as 6 th largest global economy. It seems to be in the best phase of macro -economic stability and attracted massive amount of $ 239 billion of foreign direct investment in last 5 years. Several policy initiatives have been announced for farmers, poor and backward classes and youth. The efforts to strengthen the position of medium and small business enterprises, provide boost to the infrastructure development and digital revolution reflected in this year s budget again. It also mentions several steps taken to simplify direct tax system of the country through several technology driven initiatives. There is no change in the existing rates of income tax but few other changes have been proposed for providing relief to middle class tax payers. The proposal to introduce full and comprehensive digitalization of export and import transactions is also promising. The budget also sets out road map for next decade with focus on several areas with the aim to enable our country to achieve its full potential as a society and an economy." Deepak Arora, Executive Director "The Budget in overall is a good, balanced budget aimed at creating the real infrastructure and increasing discretionary spending for spurring the overall growth of the economy. The Budget has provided a much needed impetus to middle class, small trader and farmers and has primarily focused on areas of Agriculture, Social Sector, Railways, Education, Real Estate, Health and Defence. As such, there are no such changes being proposed in the Indirect Taxes i.e. for Custom & Excise except few policy reforms to be introduced in Customs for ease in compliance, improving digitization of export/ import transaction and leveraging new technologies to improve export logistics. Badri Vishal Mahajan, Director A give-away budget in election year prognosticates a sub-8% GDP growth rate expectation (7.5% after GDP deflator of 4%) for combined with an increase in fiscal deficit by 10 basis points to 3.4% and reflects an apathetic attitude towards fiscal consolidation and a credit negative position to world at large.
