Only China and Indonesia are better than India in present scenario
but as per forecasters, only China will remain

Personal savings have declined constantly
Indian share market is the most regulated share market in the whole

What are Direct Taxes?
• Direct tax generally means tax paid directly to
the government by the persons on whom it is
imposed
• A direct tax is one which cannot be shifted by
the taxpayer to someone else
• Direct taxes are progressive in nature i.e. richer
the assessee; higher is the tax
• Example- Income Tax, Wealth Tax etc.
Relief to Tax Payers
• Rates of personal income tax survived 4 Finance Ministers & 4
governments
• Current slabs introduced only last year
• No case to revise either rates or slabs
• Moderate increase in level of threshold exemption will mean hundreds
of thousands of taxpayers going out of tax net
• Some relief to tax payers in first bracket of 2L to 5L i.e. tax credit of 2,000section 87A.
• 1.8 crore tax payers expected to benefit to value of 3,600 crores
