Sir,
The maiden budget presented by the Finance Minister in Parliament, partially fulfilled the long demands of the employees and pensioners by raising the income tax exemption limit from 2 lakhs to 2.5 lakhs in case of employees and 2.5 lakhs to 3 lakhs in case of pensioners, though not in accordance with their expectations due to financial crunch as admitted by him.
The electronic goods, oil and soap have become cheaper to satisfy the demands of the housewives still more needs to be done to relieve the anxieties of the common masses whose flesh has been chopped off by the axe of inflation.
If the inflation is not contained, its giant like form shall devour all the budget boons and the sops shall be neutralized.
Now the main thing is to curb hoarding and black marketing, the main issue of good governance.
It is expected that the finance Minister shall announce more sops to the employers and pensioners in the next budget to embalm their wounds as the middle class is sufferings greatly due to the sky rocketing rise in prices of essential commodities like potatoes and onions.
It is prayed that the finance Minister shall also instruct the J&K State Govt to increase the medical allowance of pensioners from meagre Rs 300 to Rs 1000 to help them to meet their medical needs to onset of perfect old age, having no other source in this ailing age except pension.
Yours etc…
