WHETHER INDIAN ECONOMY IS SHINING


Is there any truth in what our respected finance Minister's statement that Indian Economy is getting revived and progressing and coming back to normal. But the inflation during last month 9jan 2020) is 7.595, the highest during the last five and a half years. this inflation is assessed on the basis of Consumer Price Index which means increasing trend of prices of goods and services in the market. Industrial production also has come down. when there is a trend like this in the economy, there must be interest cut by the central bank of the Country, which has also not taken place.

The government machinery is trying to give a different picture to the public by statements - that there were gray areas earlier but there are lot of improvements...?

One cannot take into consideration the investment into the money market especially during first half of the financial year extending upto november. These investments made by FIIs/corporates/investors etc are for speculative purposes and when the Investments made won't fetch returns as they envisaged are bound to be withdrawn and repatriated. this will again make an impact on our financially stressed sector.

what the economic Survey Report mentioned about the financial situations of our Economy was not mentioned in Budget 2020. instead of coming out with corrective steps, which may be stringent, cover up of real situations was more evident. The public is left to suffer the confussions which were not understood by him because of jargons used. Added to that came the new Income tax regime with options either to continue with the old or go for the new...a total confussion for an ordinary Tax payer.

Hence it is totally confusing as to whether our Financial Investments--both short Term and Long Term-- will fetch returns or whether those investments land into the hands of  bigger corporates who will swindle away the money and claim banrupcy. WHETHER  OUR  ECONOMY  IS  SHINING  OR  FACING  RECISION  CRISIS  IN  OUR  FINANCIAL  SECTOR. we will WAIT,WAIT and WAIT because we are tolerant to anything and everything.

Finance Ministry offers opt-in Income Tax scheme.

Budget 2020 | Taxpayer opting for new tax regime to forego deductions on PF, children’s tuition fee, insurance

Since the demand for some relief  from the middle class Tax payers were very obvious,  a new personal income tax regime with reduced rates for those earning upto Rs 15 lakh was introduced in the Budget.
Rs 5 lakh to Rs 7. 5 lakh has been lowered from 20% to 10%, and for incomes between Rs 7.5 lakh to Rs 10 lakh to 15% from 20%. Similarly, tax rates have been lowered from 30% to 20% for those earning between Rs10 lakh to Rs12.5 lakh, and to 25% for those with incomes from Rs12.5 lakh to Rs15 lakh. 
Tax payers can, however, can opt for the new rates, if they give up almost all tax exemptions and deductions they enjoy under the old regime.
The budget speech has not mentioned regarding taking steps to overcome the financial crisis, moreover, it has indication on sales of profit making public sector undertakings like LIC of India, IDBI etc. The expectations of the stock market had a hit . Hope the agri sector may improve but most of the proclamations were there last year also. Whether MSME thrive or not, we will wait and see.
Altogether a budget which may not make a big impact on the present economic conditions of the country.
