New Delhi, February 01, 2025: The focus on consumption-driven growth, coupled with strategic spending, is expected to provide a much-needed push to the economy. Although we were little disappointed with no major tax reliefs for MSMEs. Overall, it is a steady and practical budget aimed at sustaining momentum without major surprises. The budget outlines a long-term path for fiscal consolidation while delivering a significant boost to individual taxpayers by raising the exemption limit. This move is expected to stimulate domestic consumption, addressing the ongoing economic slowdown. Additionally, the government has not clarified its plans for increased infrastructure spending and other growth-oriented expenditures. However, there is no mention of last year’s CAPEX shortfall, which is a notable omission. While the budget does not introduce any groundbreaking measures, it provides a stable framework to support MSMEs and economic activity.
