Background
Budget 2023: The crucial day is here when Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA government 2.0 will be presenting its last full-fledged budget ahead of the Lok Sabha polls in 2024. Citizens are expecting several pocket-friendly announcements from Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.
To make people aware of the pro-people measured announced in the Budget, the BJP will start a 12-day nationwide campaign on Wednesday.
The government may try to appease every sector of society to consolidate its grip on power. From major industries to MSMEs, salaried classes to farmers, and education to healthcare, everyone is eyeing some relief from this Budget.
On Tuesday, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman tabled the Economic Survey (2022-23) in Parliament. The Economic Survey 2022-23 has forecast India’s GDP growth for the next fiscal 2023-24 in a broad range of 6-6.8 per cent. Its baseline forecast for real GDP growth is 6.5 per cent.
Income Tax
1. Taxpayers are hoping for further exemption in the current taxable income from Rs 2.5 lakh per annum to Rs 5 lakh per annum. According to experts, this may result in extra savings of approximately Rs 1,000 per month for all taxpayers.
2. Salaried individuals also hope for the exemption ceiling under 80C to be extended from the current Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 2.5 lakh in a fiscal year.
3. Currently, an individual can claim a deduction for health insurance premiums and expenses for up to Rs 25,000. Experts say that given the increase in medical expenses, the limit should be enhanced to Rs 50,000.
4. The salaried class is also hoping for some rationalise in the new tax slab structure. Introduced in Budget 2020, the new tax regime has lower rates of taxation but there is no option to claim any deductions on house rent allowance, investments, insurance premiums etc.
Health Sector
1. As per experts, the healthcare sector needs commercially low capital-intensive projects at district and taluka levels to address large patient volumes and access affordable pricing for quality services.
2. The healthcare industry is also waiting for the government to enhance its budgetary support in increasing healthcare and insurance penetration following the pandemic.
