Highlights of Budget 2020: Government to launch Kisan Rail along with the development of new Archaeological sites


Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the 2020 Union Budget today in Parliament. The budget speech went for 2 hours and 30 minutes and covered everything from fiscal target to expenditure and income tax to direct tax announcements.

She has announced the launch of the new regime for the income tax which is definitely going to help the middle-class people in saving taxes and she scrapped the DDT (dividend distribution tax). She also committed to double the income of the farmers by the year 2022 and the launch of many new ideas for enhancing the growth of the agricultural sector.

Finance Minister’s roadmap to the economy of USD 5 trillion

Today, the entire nation looked upon Nirmala Sitharaman with the hope of development and a lot of expectations. With the GDP constantly falling down and major economic indicators turning red, India expected a blockbuster union budget for 2020.

The budget offered great relief for all the individual taxpayers. All the payers falling in the category of 5-10 percent bracket will be paying only a 10% tax.

This is the second full-year union annual budget presentation of Nirmala Sitharaman. The budget has come at the time when the market of India is almost at a collapse point and the sectors including manufacturing, agriculture, automobile, and real estate industries are at the topmost in the hit list. Like last year, this time too, the tradition of Bahi Khata was followed instead of the briefcase.
