What I liked about Pranabda's budget was the focus on infrastructure and agriculture. Rural India was on focus point and I very much liked the fact of cash subsidies in terms of direct cash transfer to the beneficiaries. If implemented right, this will fix the problem of middle agents eating up the subsidies. Personally, I don't see much cream apart from the fact that Rs 20,000 from my earnings is exempted in excess this year vis-a-vis last year. I planned to buy a bigger car later this year and will now have to pay more as the excise duty on them has been increased.
