Why budget 2023-24 is for various sectors?<\/h2>\n

The budget 2023-24 is a growth-oriented one. For instance, It increases consumption demand by reducing taxes.<\/p>\n

Infrastructure<\/strong> is a long-term growth engine. This year’s budget increases infrastructure development by a)<\/strong> Increasing CapEx, b)<\/strong> Continuing the 50-year interest-free loan facility for states, c)<\/strong> Introducing dispute resolution under \u2018Vivad se Vishwas\u2019 to settle contractual disputes of government and public sector undertakings, d)<\/strong> Creating an urban infrastructure development fund.<\/p>\n

All this will have a multiplier effect on demand and provide an impetus to the private-sector capital expenditure cycle.<\/p>\n

For the MSME segment<\/strong>: a)<\/strong> Announced a revamped credit guarantee scheme, b) <\/strong>corporates are incentivized to make timely payments to MSMEs, c)<\/strong> For MSMEs that came up short in executing government contracts during the pandemic, the government has announced a one-time refund of 95% of their forfeited security amounts.<\/p>\n

For greener ecosystem<\/strong>: Major thrust planned for green energy<\/a><\/p>\n

What are some concerns highlighted in budget 2023-24?<\/h2>\n

-The budget continued scaling down the government\u2019s disinvestment target<\/strong>. For instance, in 2021-22, the budget had pegged proceeds from disinvestment at Rs 1.75 lakh crore. Actual proceeds stood at a mere Rs 13,627 crore. For the coming year, the budget has lowered disinvestment to Rs 51,000 crore.<\/p>\n

–Not provided a detailed roadmap<\/strong>: The government has chosen not to provide a medium term fiscal roadmap. According to the government, “medium term projections amidst unprecedented global turbulence and headwinds may not be reliable”. But a detailed roadmap would have helped the government to align short-term measures with the goal of achieving medium-term targets.<\/p>\n

To sum up, the budget 2023-24 is pro-growth, pro-infrastructure, pro-energy transition and pro-MSMEs as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
