Below the perspective by Mrs. Amisha Vora, Chairperson & Managing Director, Prabhudas Lilladher Group on the Interim Budget 2024.

 

“Normally in an election year, we generally see a populist budget. However, the Honorable Finance Minister has put the growth in clear perspective with prudence taking over populism in this budget. It outlines development that will be all-round, all-inclusive, and all-pervasive towards making India a Viksit Bharat by 2047. FY23-25 interim budget has carried forward Govt focus on Net zero by 2070 (Rooftop Solarisation, Non fossil fuel, E vehicles), 11% higher capex allocation (18% effective increase) , higher allocation for PM Awas, MNREGA, Aquaculture and Tourism. Fiscal situation seems to be in fine shape with CAD at ~1% of GDP and fiscal deficit at 5.8% of GDP with next year target at 5.1% of GDP. FY25 assumptions of 11.5% growth in GST and 11.7% in corporate tax and 13% in income tax look reasonable. There has been no change in corporate and Income tax rates. Total debt has been lower than earlier estimates and FY25 gross markets borrowings with increased private capex will continue to provide growth capital and momentum to the economy. In a nut shell interim budget just ensures strong fiscal discipline and continuity of policies”.
