The Union Budget 2024 delineates a roadmap to harness India's demographic dividend, aiming to transform the country's youthful energy into a powerful driver of economic prosperity and realizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of a Viksit Bharat an empowered and developed India.
The focus of the Union Budget 2024 was to empower youth by job creation, hence, emphasis was laid on creating 8 million jobs annually until 2036. It introduced three 'Employment Linked Incentive' schemes: Scheme A-First-time Employment providing a salary benefit for new EPFO-enrolled employees; Scheme B-Job Creation in Manufacturing EPFO-based incentives to manufacturing employers; and Scheme C - Support to Employers- reimbursing EPFO contributions for workforce expansion. With a total outlay of Rs. 107,000 crores, these schemes highlight the government's focus on employment generation.
