Budget 2020: Essence of the Longest Budget Speech


NEW DELHI, Feb. 4 : There were a lot of anticipations from the Union Budget of India 2020-21 particularly in the context of the nation's fiscal expansion which is at its slowest in over 6 years, plummeting to 4.5% in July-September quarter of 2019-20, as per official data.
Thus, when the Budget 2020-21 was recited over 2 hours 43 minutes and 13,128 words, the country had anticipations. Though, there was one that no one had guessed, of creating the record for delivering the longest budget speech by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman; there were a few other vital aspects too. The concentration on creating better standards of health, education, job creation, expansion of the national gas grid and development of one hundred more airports, the revelation of the tax charter were all positives that was lauded by aspirational India. 
However, with the positives, there were a few drawbacks, particularly the absence of a considerable incentive that would have assisted in putting money directly in the hands of the people to propel consumption. No direct advantage for the real estate segment, no alteration to the long-term capital gains tax, dividend becoming taxable in the hands of investors, and decreasing the subsidy on food, fertilizers and petroleum were some apparent thumbs down in this year's budget.  
Speaking to the SpeakIn specialists across policy, politics and business, here is a look at what some of these opinion makers from the Indian Inc. had to comment about Budget 2020:
Sanjaya Baru, Economist and Policy Analyst observed, "Nirmala Sitharaman's budget strategy for 2020-21 presses all the right buttons but a poorly drafted, excessively long speech makes one miss the woods for the trees. With optimistic projections on disinvestment and sleight of hand on direct taxes, seemingly liberal but in fact not so, the finance minister has promised to keep the fiscal deficit at 3.8% of GDP. While the finance minister has done much to encourage investment and promote consumption, the inability to articulate budgetary policy within a wider and credible macro-economic strategy has contributed to an unenthusiastic response from the markets and economic commentators."
Kamal Agarwala, Founder and CEO, La Exactlly Software, remarked, "I see this as a very forward-looking, development-oriented budget and there are many key steps such as allowing 100% profit deduction for 3 years out of 10 years for startups with turnover up to INR 100 crore. Also, ESOPS not taxable for 5 years or until they sell or leaves is great news for startups Focus on enhanced digital connectivity, emerging tech, data centre parks, quantum computing and most importantly IPR creation in India will set up a strong foundation for the digital economy. Simplified Procurement through GEMS and digital refund of taxes can enhance ease of doing business for SMEs. Lastly, the reduction in TDS to 2% for technical services will bring more liquidity and working capital in the hands of companies, especially this will be of great help to SME companies."
Nakul Beri, an NRI based out of Singapore and leading an international bank stated , "The proposal of the Government to amend NRI status coupled with the intent to tax Indians abroad if they are not paying tax is a dampener.  Indians could potentially start investing in their country of residence and not send money back to India for investing as they have done in the past. There have been no out-of-the-box announcements to boost international FDI and taking India to a 5 trillion USD economy. There should have been a lot more focus on increasing consumption and gaining more international confidence through radical economic stimulus."
In brief, the Budget 2020-21, certainly presented some encouraging probabilities so as to rejuvenate the economy as it highlighted enhanced concentration and scopes of investment in spheres like infrastructure, healthcare, education, and skill training. Simplification of the income tax regime, reforms in ESOP taxation for the start-up segment and decrease on corporate tax to 22% for businesses were some other encouraging revelations that Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman made in her second budget speech. However, from an overall point of view, I would state it as a neutral budget as it left adequate scope to lay down particular steps and crucial reforms in the area of job creation which in the present time is India's biggest problem. By leaving the three job-creating segments - mining, manufacturing and construction, and further diminishing the allocation for the rural employment guarantee programme significantly, the budget didn't address this vital topic of unemployment. 
Deepshikha Kumar, founder at SpeakIn thinks, Budget 2020-21 has its ups and downs. Though the instant stock market response, with Nifty crashing over 2.5 per cent , spoke of a subdued sentiment, till the fine print is thoroughly read and assessment, the economy will keep its anticipation alive.
About SpeakIn
SpeakIn hosts its broad base of specialists on a highly curated web platform, which is set to see a marked enhancement. The company has already set in position a robust compliance framework on data, privacy and IP across geographies, in-sync with the highest global standards and its concentration persists to be on the quality of specialists.
