The Interim Budget presented today primarily focused on benefits to the rural and middle-class section of the country. Speaking in the context of the 7th pay commission, Interim Finance Minister Piyush Goyal said that the gratuity ceiling limit will be increased from the existing Rs 10 lakh to Rs 30 lakh.
