Budget 2023 Expectations LIVE: Budget 2023 expected to focus on job creation
B. Gopkumar, MD & CEO, Axis Securities said as this is the last full-year Budget before the Union Election in 2024, it is expected to be growth-oriented.
The primary focus of the Budget is likely to be on job creation and investment-driven growth. The real estate sector may get a boost with some announcements to expand the current income tax benefit for housing, Gopkumar said.
Measures to stimulate rural spending and infrastructure development would be the highlight in the Budget. Any roadmap to build and bolster the entrepreneurship culture can promote self-reliance and go a long way in employment generation.
FMCG, Manufacturing, MSME, and Banking are a few sectors that may see action, Gopkumar said.
With multiple government schemes assisting in the growth of MSME ecosystem, there is an increasing demand for various financial and non-financial services that will help MSMEs in their growth journey. Incentivizing these service providers and improving reach to the MSME segment will significantly increase the supply. This will help MSMEs build systems, talent, capacity, infrastructure, access to capital and other ingredients to meet the growth demand

The edtech segment foresees the upcoming Union Budget 2023 as remote and hybrid learning emerges in the Indian education landscape. The industry also oversees significant announcements from this budget to drive investment in this space along with favourable regulatory measures to build a conducive environment for digital learning. Toprankers believes that the government should envisage such a framework that promotes the collaboration of startups with government agencies to build capacity, share knowledge and ensure the nation’s holistic development

The modern workplace itself has transformed over the years and the concept of co-working is one such example. I feel that government should recognize the industry under special programs like REITs and provide some tax benefits to promote the growth of this sector. The second important thing is the TDS rate that is applicable to the co-working sector. Presently, the TDS rate for the co-working segment is 10% because we provide renting of both movables and immovables. As the shared space industry grows, a lower TDS rate will give this sector a major boost helping companies to provide real estate solutions to clients at economical rates, which will further help in a better flow of working capital

Union Budget 2023 shall aim at policies and reforms which can significantly boost domestic demand and consumption. There are many ways to achieve this objective but considering constantly increasing urban salaried jobs, one of the important steps which the current Government shall pursue is revisions to the tax slabs for individual taxpayers. I believe that the current Government will consider implementing the Direct Tax Codes and significantly enhance the tax slabs for Individuals (10% up to INR 10 Lakhs, 20% up to INR 20 Lakhs and 30% in excess of INR 20 Lakhs). These slabs will significantly reduce the tax liabilities for Individuals and will lead to increase in in-hand surplus and spending power of consumers which in turn will result in increased demand and higher economic growth

We expect the government to reconsider the current putative tax structure [for crypto] and bring it at par with other normal business activities.

Buoyed by the response to the Sabka Vishwas (Legacy Dispute Resolution) Scheme for settlement of excise and service tax cases, and Vivad se Vishwas for income tax matters, trade and industry awaits a similar dispute resolution scheme for Customs and EXIM matters.
