Expectation from UNION BUDGET 2015-16

Expectation from Coming Union Budget for 2015-16

Everyone in India is waiting for 28 February. Last year in May 2015, modi government came in full majority with great expectation of citizen. People wanted change and that is the main reason behind that spectacular electoral victory. In July 2015 this government had passed the budget but that budget was not reflecting the government’s intention truly. Now after completing 9 months the government is ready with its full budget. Not only the people of India are waiting for this event but also foreign media also looking it very carefully.

Prime minister is very well known for hard working and fully focused man towards goal. Overall feeling across the country since the formation of the government has been that the government is working for only big industries and the expectation of poor and middle class have been ignored by this government. Recently the Delhi election result is showing the emotions of nation. This budget of Modi government is an opportunity for showing the path of “ACHHE DIN” means inclusive growth of overall.

Everyone have some expectation from the budget. I am not an exception and I have also some expectation. Agriculture and rural development should get proper attention. The fact is that our agriculture production has declined and there are need to take some steps for farmers and rural families.

The funding for social sector schemes like public health, education, senior citizens, handicapped people should not be cut. Potable drinking water for all should also get special attention in this budget. Rain water harvesting should be encouraged. With highly pitched ‘Make in India’ program there are need to develop a self-sustaining economy that can fulfill the job thrust of our country. Within high targeted GDP figure there are need to develop SMEs and skill development program. Corruption has been the root cause of all backwardness in this country and there should be scheme implementation should be in more transparent manner. There should be no scope of corruption. It means zero tolerance of corruption cases across the country without any partiality.

Inclusive growth means SABKA VIKAS. 70% rural and village BHARAT should not be ignored in the name of technology, FDI and industrial growth. Without growing agriculture one cannot think about strong India. There are many other sector like police modernization, defense sector, e-governance and to ensure the delivery of public service need proper budgetary allocation. There should be increase in tax-exemptions limit with simple tax structure.

Overall I expect this budget will have good provision for the development of agriculture, job creation, health reform, education, security and infra sector. The budget should be come with intention of inclusive growth as they promised in election SABKA SAATH, SABKA VIKAS.

Budget Impact on Agriculture and Auto Sector

Budget Impact on Agriculture and Auto Sector

We had discussed main points of budget 2014-15 in our earlier blog. Now we are going to discuss its impact on important sectors. First we will take about budget impact Agriculture sector.

Agriculture Sector:
The finance minister has affirmed to achieve 4% growth in agriculture which is good for the sector. In our country, majority of population is still depends on agriculture. It is very essential to grow agriculture for nation’s economic health. In 2014-15, the total agriculture credit has been set to Rs 8 lakh crore. NABARD will target 5 lakh farmers through financing.

Under the Interest Subvention Scheme for short term crop loans, the banks are extending loans to farmers at a concessional rate of 7%. The farmers get a further incentive of 3% for timely repayment. This Scheme will be continued in 2014-15. Price stabilization fund of Rs 500 cr would be made to keep food prices in check. It is positive for food price management.

Overall tone of the budget was favorable for the agri sector however there is nothing specific for any related companies.

Auto Sector:
The extension of excise duty cut which has been announced on 30th June 2014 will continue till 31st December 2014. This is expected to result in pick up in demand for the overall sector. Increase in tax exemption limit from Rs 2 lakh to Rs 2.5 lakh will lead to increase in disposable income and thereby boost demand for automobiles. A manufacturing company that invests more than Rs 25 crore in any year in new plant and machinery would get investment allowance at the rate of 15%.  The benefit would be available for three years for investments upto 31.03.2017.

Overall efforts have been made to revive the demand for automobile sector; though nothing specific has been announced. An increase in disposable income and focus on rural spending is likely to result in some pickup in demand for the overall sector. Investor can buy Escorts with price target of Rs 156.
