Budget 2021: Government Fully Prepared To Support And Facilitate The Economy's Reset

And, the FM has indeed delivered and shown that the government is talking business. The focus has come back on growth and the fiscal deficit has taken a back seat. With huge infrastructure spending, the consumption and job sector is expected to show results soon.

The budget proposals have put growth over fiscal and this move has shown that the government has firmly put itself behind the steering wheel. The necessary push required for the growth in the economy can be seen in various budget proposals. The best thing that has happened is there were no new taxes introduced by the FM. That means, more money remains in the hands of the individual to invest and spend. The consumer sentiment will help in reviving the consumption sector leading to growth in almost every sector of the economy.
