However, I think the government has made it clear on various forums that in a calibrated manner they plan to do away with the differential treatment given to different asset classes and bring in simplicity and uniformity. As the world sees a rebalance of power and economic growth centers, the seed planted through PLI schemes and tax incentives needs to be carried ahead further by attracting more capital expenditure from the private sector too. The Second focus would be to take India into the next stage of growth into becoming a $5 trillion economy over the next 4-5 years. One would be to increase household income for the middle-class and lower-income groups. Also, this being the last full budget before the elections in 2024, the government would be on the front foot on reforms and pushing for growth in the economy across sectors.
