Friends Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee has presented the Union Budget 2012-2013. Do you think the changes in direct taxes done by him is justifiable? He has also increased the valuation of crude oil and gold, decreased the interest rate of PF, etc. Is these steps good to control inflation and tax rates?
Do you think the expenditure calculated this year is more than the revenue earned?

Middle class people expected that price would come down. Market price did not come down. Items like gold, car and crude oil price has gone up. Some facilities were provided to businessmen. Rate of tax exemption has been changed, which is good. Rate of PF came down is not good and so on.
Increase of 2% central excise and service tax besides enhancing the scope by excluding only some items in negative list, cost of almost every commodity and service will increase. The marginal benefit in income tax is only the the higher middle class and rich whereas the indirect taxes will affect even the poorest. The budget is regressive and pro rich.
Tax exempted up to Rs.200,000 This is all right.No news about exemption with direct savings which was Rs 1oo,ooo. If any news share.
There is no change in section 80(C). Hence,the benefit of Rs. 1 lakh for savings in specified investments will continue. Besides, there is exemption to interest in bank saving account upto Rs. 10,000/-
