“Government should bring something that provide job opportunities to youth and also, to smoothen the process of education loan,” said Rahul, a student at Prayagraj Mahakumbh to ANI.
“This Govt always do good things for students and this time as well, they will bring a good budget…,” ANI quoted another student Ashish from Prayagraj.
“Being a salaried person, I expect that the Govt will provide some relaxation in tax limit; I hope that the Govt will alter the Rs 5 lakh slab and will exceed that limit upto Rs 7.5 lakhs,” ANI quoted Deepak, a salaried person.
“I hope there will be a better tax rebate. Train facilities should be made even better. We travel in local trains, so frequency of trains should be made even better,” said Mumbai resident TG Pradhan to ANI.
“Inflation should be brought under control. So that a common man is also able to sustain himself and the lower class further develops. As far as tax slabs are concerned, it would be good if those in the Rs 10-15 Lakhs category are given some relaxation,” said another Mumbai resident.
A banker from Mumbai told ANI, “The most important thing would be some relaxation in the tax slabs for salaried people. It has not happened for years, but it should be done. They provide compensation to women every year.”
“As a homemaker, I think the inflation rate should be curbed. Also, the Govt should focus on areas such as travel expenses as it’s getting higher,” said Sangeeta Singh, a school teacher from Delhi.
