Why should so much benefit be given to those earning above rupees 10 lakh? A surcharge waiver helps those ppl save more than 20,000 rupees per annum, but for people earning below 10 lakh the maximum benefit from budget announcements is around 1100 rupees?

The governemnt should think more about the middle class who earns less than 10 lakh rupees. They are the ones who need a higher take home salary!!

Mr Pranab… please listen!

limit of section 80 c should be increased to 2 lakhs. one lakh is not sufficient.
tax exemption limit also should be raised to 2 lakhs.

I think government try to re-circulate all the things and plan to achieve GDP for FY-09-10. It’s hard to say that budget is good but not as worst. Budget set with 45 day agenda’s for almost all the sectors, need to co-operate with government in recession time. It’s really hard to settle/happy all the people. Dont’ forget India is the 2 fastest growing economy after China in slowdown.

The budget is good from people’s point of view. But where are the funds coming from?

As a retired Defence Officer I was shocked that Govt has dealt irrationally with the officers who fought three wars after independence. Pension of some of the old veterns can not even by Daal and Roti for the family. How long nation wants them to carry on working to supplement pension. I am still working on ajob 72 hrs ( 48+ journey time) a week at the age of 71.

Will any one please look into this and correct the anomly in crppled One Rank One Pay announced and make it stand on both legs.

You may publish my mail.

No support for middle class… no support for fertilizer cos… no support for unemployed… in fact who needs roads when drinking water and water for the farms is scarce.. infrastructure spending should have special sections for water and power which will boost the agriculture and in turn the GDP and lower prices for middle class.. it is all related… FM and PM have disappointed me thoroughly…

i feel this budget is made looking at the 1983 agenda . The world is looking India as superpower but i feel we still have to get more power in the budget which will take care of all secotors .

Budget was totally based on social development which is the most requirement for the country. But still the focus can be made more on control of CPI along with WPI.
