Relief eludes the salaried

One thought that the Finance Minister would relent and give some relief to the salaried class in his reply to the Budget discussion. But he continues to disappoint.

Prabhakar Loganathan, Chennai

I agree. Everyone thought that the Finance Minister would have kept something up his sleeves to mollify the anger of the salaried middle class which feels peeved by the short shrift given to it in the Budget. Government employees who have been the beneficiaries of the Sixth Pay Commission largesse are especially disappointed because they now have to shell out a sizeable part of their salary accretions to the exchequer by way of heightened tax liability.
