Union Budget 2023-24: New income tax slabs announced, rebate limit raised to Rs 7 lac


Daijiworld Media Network – New Delhi

New Delhi, Feb 1: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Wednesday February 1 presented the Union Budget 2023 in Parliament.

During her budget speech, the finance minister said the focus remains on widening the scope of economic growth, boosting key areas like infrastructure and manufacturing and job creation.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said the Indian economy is on the right track and, despite challenges, it is heading towards a bright future. "Our focus on wide ranging reforms and sound policies helped us perform well in trying times. India's rising global profile is because of several accomplishments: a unique world-class digital public infrastructure, Covid vaccination drive and a proactive role in frontier areas.

The finance minister said the government has implemented a scheme to supply free food grains to priority households for the next one year, under PM Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana. The entire expenditure of about Rs 2 lac crore will be borne by the government, said the finance minister.

There are seven priorities that will be the focus of the Union Budget, said the finance minister. They are inclusive development, reaching the last mile, infrastructure and investment, unleashing the potential, green growth, youth power and financial sector.

The finance minister said this budget will lay the roadmap for the Amrit Kaal, which will include technology-driven growth and a knowledge-based economy. "Our vision for the Amrit Kaal includes a technology-driven and knowledge-based economy, with strong public finances and a robust financial sector. To achieve this 'janbhagidari' through 'sabka saath, sabka prayaas' is essential," she said.

As expected earlier, the finance minister made several announcements to boost the overall agricultural sector, including providing affordable solutions for challenges faced by farmers. She announced an agriculture accelerator fund to "transform" the sector.

The agricultural credit target will be increased to Rs 20 lac crore, with focus on animal husbandry, dairy and fisheries. "We will launch a new sub-scheme with targeted investment of Rs 6,000 crore to aid activities of fishermen, fish vendors and MSMSEs," said Nirmala Sitharaman.

The finance minister said 157 new nursing colleges will be established in co-location with the existing 157 medical colleges established since 2014. ICMR labs will be made available for research by public and private medical college faculty and private sector R&D teams, to encourage collaborative research and innovation.

She also announced a new programme to promote research and innovation in pharmaceuticals. The government will also encourage industry to invest in research and development in specific priority areas.

A National Digital Library for children and adolescents will be set up to facilitate the availability of quality books across geographies, languages, genres and levels and device-agnostic accessibility, said the finance minister.

The outlay for the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, an initiative by the Government of India in which affordable housing will be provided for the urban poor, is being enhanced by 66 per cent to over Rs 79,000 crore.

Investment and job creation continues to be the government's top priority, as outlined by the finance minister in her budget speech.

During her budget speech, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said capital investment outlay is being increased by 33 per cent to Rs 10 lac crore, which would be 3.3 per cent of GDP.

She also announced that the provision for 50-year interest-free loans to state governments has been extended by another year. This will be done to spur investment in infrastructure and to incentivise them for complimentary policy actions, with enhanced outlay of Rs. 1.3 lac crore.

The finance minister announced that the total outlay for the Indian Railway budget will be Rs 2.40 lac crore, nine times more than the total outlay in 2013-14.

For business establishments required to have a Permanent Account Number, the PAN will be used as a common identifier for all Digital Systems of specified government agencies, said the finance minister.

The fiscal deficit target for FY24 has been reduced to 5.9 per cent of the GDP, compared to 6.4 per cent for FY23. The finance minister said, "I reiterate my intention to bring the fiscal deficit below 4.5 per cent of GDP by 2025-26."

The finance minister said a number of basic customs duty rates on goods other than textiles and agriculture should be reduced from 21 per cent to 13 per cent. As a result, there will be minor changes in the basic customs duties, cesses and surcharges on some items including toys, bicycles and automobiles. The customs duty on cigarettes has gone up once again.

"I propose to provide relief on Customs Duty on import of certain parts & inputs like camera lens & continue the concessional duty on lithium-ion cells for batteries for another year," the finance minister said.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said the income tax rebate has been extended on income up to Rs 7 lac, under the new income tax regime.

"Introduced in 2020, the new personal income tax regime with 6 income slabs, starting from Rs 2.5 Lacs. I propose changing the tax structure in this regime by reducing the number of slabs to 5 and increasing the tax exemption limit to Rs 3 Lacs," she said.

She also proposed to make tax slabs more flexible under the new tax regime. "The new tax rates are 0 to Rs 3 lacs - nil, Rs 3 to 6 lacs - 5%, Rs 6 to 9 Lacs - 10%, Rs 9 to 12 Lacs - 15%, Rs 12 to 15 Lacs - 20% and above 15 Lacs - 30%, " said finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman.

FM Sitharaman meets Prez Murmu ahead of presenting Budget 2023-24

New Delhi, Feb 1 (IANS): Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman met President Droupadi Murmu at the Rashtrapati Bhavan ahead of presenting the Budget 2023-24 in Parliament on Wednesday.

Finance Minister Sitharaman will present the last budget of the Modi 2.0 government at 11 a.m.

On the first day of the Budget session which got underway on Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that Budget 2023-24 will aim to fulfill the aspirations of the common man.

He also said that the world is looking at the Indian economy as a bright spot.

The same day, the Economic Survey 2022-23 was tabled in Parliament which projected the Indian economy to grow 6-6.8 per cent in 2023-24 with a baseline growth rate of 6.5 per cent.

Though the survey presents an optimistic growth outlook for next year, it also highlights the risk of an "entrenched inflation" and hence "higher and longer" interest rates, and a "depreciating rupee" leading to higher current account deficit, both on account of global headwinds.

    Come on Guys! Just because its an online forum where you can conceal your identity, Do not comment just for the purpose of bashing ! At least this govt did not sell our money printing machine to Pak and didnt give same paper supplier that Pak takes too. Indians not fools why you and congress objected on note bandhi. Atleast somebody is thinking about our country and our future. We dont need the reforms which promote freebies to destroy our countries future. Ppl upto 7.5lacs income are exempted from paying direct tax ( including SD). Ppl above 7.5lacs will be under the tax slabs and i think its a good move. Thanks Ravi,, Poonja Arcade.

    Your data shows devastating hike in unemployment and slump in business activities if only Modi had kept his promise of creating 10 crores jobs every year and less GST on businesses and auditing of Modi’s cronies business transactions. This has resulted in negative GDP, rupee depreciation and decrease in FDI and continuing without reversal in trend. West has reservation now to invest in India after documentary in BBC about negative business friendly environment confirming US decision to ban Modi from visiting the US for the same reason in 2002.
