The Budget 2015 applicable for Financial Year 2015-16
The
Budget 2015 having high expectations was released by Mr. Arun jaitely,
Finance Minister of the new Modi government on the 28th of February
2015. Many people whom i met post budget had same view that it did not
meet their expectations. However i feel that mainly this reaction was
because the slab rates where not changed or to be precised the slab
rates were not Increased. Face the fact, Slab rate for F.Y. 2015-16
cannot be increased further, there is no room for it, as it will not
only decrease the government's revenue but will also hamper the economy
in a very bad way. the best way was to channelized the fund from
governments revenue to some government and Economy helping funds,
investments, etc; which Mr. Jaietly knew very well and hence he
introduced more Deductions and also raised Limits of the deductions.
Just wait and have trust on Government the 4th and 5th year of the modi
Government will be a Golden Era for India's
Economy... I can Speak on this more but for now let's bring our mind
horses back on the Topic "TDS or Taxation on Income From Salaries for

must have investment in your Portfolio of investments if you have a
