New Delhi: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented her fourth straight Union Budget in the Parliament on Tuesday while contrary to widespread expectations that the FM will make changes on income tax bracket, she has made no such announcement.
Addressing a press conference later in the day, FM Sitharaman said that her Budget announcement is people-friendly since she has tried not to burden the people already affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
"I have not tried to earn even a single paisa by increasing tax this year and even last year. PM Modi had given clear instructions that people should not be burdened with taxes at the time of the pandemic, notwithstanding the deficit," Sitharaman said.
