    Union Budget 2024: How Tax Cuts Aim to Boost the Economy

    Union Budget 2024: Key Takeaways and Expert Insights

    The lead-up to the Union Budget 2024 was turbulent. The global economy appeared fragile, with the US on the verge of a trade war. Domestically, India’s post-COVID recovery was slowing, and concerns over excessive taxation were mounting, especially among the middle class.

     

    However, on 1 February, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented a Budget that seemed to shift the narrative. The most striking aspect was the ₹1 lakh crore in tax relief aimed at easing the burden on the middle class. Yet, her eighth Budget offered much more. To break down its key elements, StratNewsGlobal.Tech spoke with Arvind Virmani, member of NITI Aayog and former chief economic advisor to the finance ministry.

    Major Tax Relief for the Middle Class

    One of the biggest takeaways from the Budget was the significant tax relief provided to the middle class. With ₹1 lakh crore allocated for tax breaks, the government aimed to boost disposable income and drive consumption. This move was widely welcomed, as it directly addressed concerns about declining purchasing power and economic slowdown.

    Balancing Growth and Fiscal Responsibility

    While the tax cuts provided relief, the Budget also focused on maintaining fiscal discipline. The government emphasised infrastructure spending, job creation, and incentives for manufacturing and exports. This balance was crucial to sustaining economic growth while ensuring fiscal stability.

    Expert Insights from Arvind Virmani

    Arvind Virmani shared his views on the broader economic implications of the Budget. He highlighted how the tax relief could stimulate demand and improve market sentiment. Additionally, he noted the importance of continued structural reforms to sustain long-term growth. His insights underscored the Budget’s dual focus on short-term relief and long-term economic resilience.
