Frequently Asked Questions
Union Budget 2025: Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman is set to present the second Union Budget of the Modi 3.0 government amid hopes that the Centre will announce prudent reforms to further shape its ambitious goal of 'Viksit Bharat' by 2047.
The Union Budget 2025-26 will be tabled on 1st February during Parliament's Budget session. This would be the eighth straight Budget to be presented by FM Sitharaman and the second full budget of the Modi 3.0 government.
The Budget for the upcoming financial year is expected to prioritise reforms aimed at accelerating growth, creating jobs and spurring demand in the economy, especially after India's GDP growth slowed to a two-year low of 5.4% in Q2.
In the run up to the Union Budget, government officials have signalled that the Centre is preparing for some "big ticket" reforms in the next financial year with an aim to spur demand in the economy, Various stakeholders from different industries are also expected to give their wishlist to Sitharaman in the weeks leading up to the Budget.
For FY24, the Budget had projected a nominal GDP growth of 10.5 per cent, while fiscal deficit was pegged at 4.9 per cent of the gross domestic product (GDP). The Modi government has been rapidly reducing its fiscal deficit target after it ballooned to 9.2 percent in 2020-21 due to the Covid pandemic.
Takeaways from Budget 2024
In July, the Modi government presented its first full Budget after returning to power in the Lok Sabha elections. The Budget had rewards for the salaried class who have opted for the new tax regime but proved to be a little tough on investors with an increase in the long and short term capital gains tax. The RBI's dividend bonanza of Rs 2.11 lakh crore to the government helped Sitharaman accomodate the wishlist of allies like Chandrababu Naidu's TDP and Nitish Kumar's JD(U) for their respective states of Andhra Pradesh and Bihar.
Highlights of Budget 2024
Focus on Jobs: The Budget addressed job creation with direct-benefit transfers, paid internships, and skill development programs to meet the demand for 7.8 million non-farm sector jobs over the next seven years.
Rural and Agricultural Support: The Centre increased agricultural spending to Rs 1.52 lakh crore and rural spending to Rs 2.66 lakh crore with an aim to regain support in rural areas.
Targeted Regional Development: Special emphasis was given to Andhra Pradesh and Bihar with significant funding for infrastructure projects, multilateral assistance and temple economy development.
Continued Infrastructure Investment: The government maintained high capital expenditure at Rs 11.11 lakh crore to drive growth while reducing the fiscal deficit to 4.9%.
Scrapping of Angel Tax: Despite increased capital gains taxes to curb speculation, the government decided to abolish the angel tax with an aim to boost startup growth and invigorate the economy.
