Nirmala Sitharaman under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. In the first Budget of Amritkaal, Hon. Finance Minister has listed 7 priorities as she outlined people-centric agenda of ease of living and doing business to take on global challenges as well as for stimulating exports. </span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"> GJEPC thanks the Government for accepting its recommendation to promote indigenous manufacturing in the emerging Lab-Grown Diamond (LGD) sector by providing Research Grants to IIT for 5 years. GJEPC welcomes the reduction of Customs Duty on LGD seeds to zero from 5%. It will ensure India’s end-to-end world leadership in rough to finished lab-grown diamond and jewellery manufacturing.  In addition to that Govt. has also accepted to have clear segregation Customs (IT HS) codes for Silver and Platinum studded Lab grown jewellery for better differentiation and identification at consumer level.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Another positive pro-growth move is that the conversion of physical gold into digital gold will not attract capital gains tax. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"> The ₹13.7 Lakh Cr. investment for infrastructure by Govt is a big positive step for the country. This will unleash the potential of Indian Economy. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"> GJEPC welcomes the move to increase the duty on articles (jewellery) of precious metals such as gold/silver and platinum from 20% to 25% (+Nil AIDC +2 SWS). However we are clarifying on the import duty on findings which are raw material in character for manufacture of jewllery. Union Finance Minister has also rationalised the import duty on silver by proposing to increase the import duty on silver dore, bars and articles to align them with that on gold and platinum.  However that will have a net effect of increase of around 5% duty at import level for silver resulting in increase of price for silver products domestically.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"> The industry had recommended Reduction in Import Duty on Gold/Silver and platinum which has not been considered in the Budget. Council will continue to pursue the same with the Government for the overall welfare of the industry.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"> The enhancement of Income Tax limit to Rs. 7 lakh will benefit workers in the gem & jewellery industry. Reduction in surcharge in the highest Income Tax slab will reduce maximum tax rate to 39% (from 42.74%) will benefit jewellers.  </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"> We hope PM Vishwa Karma Kaushal Samman package of assistance for traditional artisans and craftspeople will be extended to the 5000 year old indigenous gem & jewellery industry.   </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">  We appreciate the emphasis on exports, which are a key growth magnet in growth of the economy. GJEPC welcomes the revamped Credit guarantee scheme for MSMEs and the Government’s assurance of returning 95 per cent of forfeited amount to the enterprises in event of contract failure during covid-19 by MSMEs.  </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">The Government’s Union Budget for FY24 reflects its long-term vision to spur the country’s march as a leading global economy all the way till India@100. </span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>

Nirmala Sitaraman made five major announcements with respect to personal income tax while presenting the Union Budget 2023-24 in Parliament today.  These announcements pertaining to rebate, change in tax structure, extension of benefit of standard deduction to the new tax regime, reduction of highest surcharge rate and extension of limit of tax exemption on leave encashment on retirement of non-government salaried employees will provide substantial benefits to the working middle class.</div></span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">In her first announcement regarding rebate, she proposed to increase the rebate limit to Rs.7 lakh in the new tax regime, which would mean that the persons in the new tax regime, with income up to Rs. 7 lakh will not have to pay any tax. Currently, those with income up to Rs. 5 lakh do not pay any income tax in both old and new tax regimes.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Providing relief to middle-class individuals, she proposed a change in the tax structure in the new personal income tax regime by reducing the number of slabs to five and increasing the tax exemption limit to Rs. 3 lakh.  The new tax rates are:</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Total income (Rs.)            Rate  (per cent)</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Upto 0-3 lakh<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Nil</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">From 3-6 lakh<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>5</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">From 6-9 lakh<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>10</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">From 9-12 lakh<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>15</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">From 12-15 lakh<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>20</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">This will provide major relief to all tax payers in the new regime. An individual with an annual income of Rs. 9 lakh will be required to pay only Rs. 45,000/-. This is only 5 per cent of his or her income. It is a reduction of 25 per cent on what he or she is required to pay now, i.e. Rs. 60,000/-. Similarly, an individual with an income of Rs. 15 lakh would be required to pay only Rs. 1.5 lakh or 10 per cent of his or her income, a reduction of 20 per cent from the existing liability of Rs. 1,87,500/.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">The third proposal of the budget provides major relief to the salaried class and the pensioners including family pensioners as the Finance Minister proposed to extend the benefit of standard deduction to the new tax regime. Each salaried person with an income of Rs. 15.5 lakh or more will thus stand to benefit by Rs. 52,500/-.  At present, standard deduction of Rs. 50,000/- to salaried individuals and deduction from family pension up to Rs. 15,000/- is currently allowed only under the old regime.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">As part of her fourth announcement with respect to personal income tax, Smt. Nirmala Sitaraman proposed to reduce the highest surcharge rate from 37 per cent to 25 per cent in the new tax regime for income above Rs. 2 crore.  This would result in reduction of the maximum tax rate to 39 per cent from the present 42.74 per cent, which is among the highest in the world. However, no change in surcharge is proposed for those who opt to be under the old regime in this income group.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">As part of the fifth announcement, the budget proposed extension of limit of tax exemption on leave encashment to Rs. 25 lakh on retirement of non-government salaried employees in line with the government salaried class. At present, the maximum amount which can be exempted is Rs. 3 lakh.   </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The budget proposed to make the new income tax regime as the default tax regime.  However, citizens will continue to have the option to avail the benefit of the old tax regime.</span><span style="font-family: georgia; white-space: pre;"> </span></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>

What people of Punjab have done is truly miraculous, we love you Punjab, you’ve embarked upon a huge revolution. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">He reminisced upon the dirty politics that panned out during the elections and added, “Babasaheb and Bhagat Singh’s dreams have been realised today, we’ve built schools for the poor, given them excellent healthcare and ample opportunities to stand shoulder to shoulder with the elite class. This was no easy task. There are greater powers at work to derail our plans and hinder the growth of the country. We’re very weak compared to them. Biggest of the conspiracies unfolded in Punjab, be it vote transfers or nefarious acts, they did all they could, but they failed miserably. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">In the end they resorted to calling me a terrorist. Through the results we’ve gotten today, the people of this country have proven that I am not a terrorist but a ‘sapoot’ of this soil. They have proven that the real terrorists are those who are looting this country. Today we must all take a pledge to build an India of the new-era as we stand in face of a new-dawn. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">In our idea of India, no one shall sleep on an empty stomach, no woman would ever have to fear, no child would have to worry for their education. Why is it that our children are forced to go to smaller countries to seek medical education? In our India, we’d build so many colleges that no child would need to leave India to seek a good education but instead children from the world over would come here to study.”</span></p>
