"It can be said that the Budget was well balanced and focuses more on long-term growth aspects instead of short-term populous measures, can be termed as positive and growth oriented. It indicates some prudent steps towards fiscal consolidation and reflects that the government is sincere about the fiscal situation going forward. The proposed full exemption on mobile phone parts may further make the smartphone affordable to larger section of the masses and basis the direct taxes, the increase in disposal income will further enhance the penetration of smartphones. The budget is expected to stimulate growth for agriculture, banking & m-payments industry with development of tier II, III markets. This will in turn enhance the adoption of mobility contributing to the overall growth of the economy. Introduction of a constitutional amendment for GST is also a positive development."
