Frequently Asked Questions
Union Budget 2025: In her eighth Union Budget on February 1, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman gave much-needed tax relief to the middle class in the new tax regime with an aim to boost consumption and lift the animal spirits of the economy. She also set an ambitious fiscal deficit target at 4.4 per cent as she walked the talk on fiscal prudence as a non-negotiable aim.
Sitharaman announced that no income tax will be payable for incomes up to Rs 12 lakh under the new tax regime. This effectively means those earning up to Rs 12.75 lakh a year (by adding a standard deduction of Rs 75,000), won't have to pay a single rupee in income tax. The finance minister also revised the existing slabs in the new regime to reduce the tax burden on those with higher incomes.
In the Union Budget, capital expenditure (capex) was maintained at 3.14% of GDP, with total budgeted capex, including public sector enterprises, rising by 4.9% year-on-year. The government is shifting the focus to private sector investment, banking on increased consumption to drive business expansion.
Sitharaman also announced reduction in customs duties to enhance competitiveness, though major tariff cuts were avoided given global trade conditions.
The Budget did not introduce corporate tax reforms or new privatisation initiatives. Spending on social schemes like MGNREGA remained unchanged, while some housing and water-related programs have seen cuts.
Overall, the Budget’s key focus was on stability, boosting consumption through tax relief, and enhancing competitiveness through incremental measures. However, it did not introduce any major structural reforms to accelerate growth.
