The budget remains focused on long-term economic growth through capex and sops to boost consumption for the middle-income group.

Despite upcoming state elections, the government did not deliver a populist budget and tried to maintain fiscal prudence.

Tax rate - Reducing the max marginal rate of tax is very welcome. 42% was indeed steep. Govt has done right by reducing to 39 per cent.
Ease of doing business - The fact that we have had to reduce 39000 compliances just shows how many compliances we have had to live with and why we have still a long way to go on Ease of Doing Business.
MSMEs - Apparently, payments to MSMEs will be allowed only on a payment basis. Hence one will need to track all dealings with MSME and track payments.
Arbitration - Settlement Scheme for Arbitration matters. Very interesting. Hopefully should provide a way for those litigating with the Govt an easier option to realise cash early.

“The extension of the tax benefit deadline till 31st March 2024 is a positive for the start-up ecosystem. The amendment to set off losses for 10 years is another positive as it is difficult for disruptive and tech start-ups to be profitable at the get-go especially if they are catering to India's billion internet users. India's growth will be a beacon for the world in a challenging 2023 global economy. The 2008 recession gave birth to many US-based start-ups that went to be household names. We hope that these measures will build many early-stage start-ups and help cement India's place as a hub for innovation” - Mr Anuj Parekh CEO and Co-Founder Healthysure.

“The Union Budget has many announcements for the real estate and the infra sector. The robust infra, railway outlay, and 50 new airports by the government will help create new realty hotspots across the country. The 66% rise in the PMAY outlay will help achieve the government's dream of 'Housing for All'.
The key announcement of the government incentivizing cities to improve their creditworthiness for municipal bonds will encourage states and cities to take up urban and sustainable planning.
Lastly, the new direct tax slabs will end up leaving more money in the hand of the consumer, thereby leading to a rise in discretionary income.”

Kama Jewelry MD
Mr Colin Shah, MD, Kama Jewelry on the Union Budget says that
It was a mixed budget for the Gems and Jewelry industry as the FM did acknowledge the potential of the Lab Grown Diamonds for exports, and to create employment. An R&D grant for five years will help in creating local manufacturing capacities, thereby reducing our dependency on imports of machinery in the years to come.
The move to not impose any capital gains on the conversion of physical gold to electronic gold receipts and vice versa will help further gold monetization. This announcement may help in reducing the import of gold.
The hike in basic customs duty on articles made from gold bars and import duty on silver will lead to a rise in the final price of locally made jewellery and maybe a challenge to the local refineries.
There was no announcement for the natural diamond industry in terms of duties and our SNZs. Not having a repair policy will also be damaging for our DTA Jewellery exporters.”
