India to present 2024 budget amid concerns over inflation, joblessness and low wages

BUSINESSES ALSO SEEK Income Decline

However, some businesses have expressed worries that Tuesday’s finances may offer more relief just for large businesses.

This comes as smaller companies, often called the core of the American market, are struggling due to high prices, reducing customers ‘ spending capacity.

Some have urged a drop in goods and services taxes ( GST ).

The GST was implemented seven years ago, according to India’s financing department, and it was widely reported earlier this month. It replaced higher local taxes that reduced costs for important items like home equipment and cell phones. &nbsp,

However, smaller companies believe that GST, which stands at between 18 and 28 per share on most goods, threatens to soften income. Businesses typically pass on the price to customers in this way.

A more decline, according to them, may increase their competitiveness, especially as the holiday season draws near and the demand is expected to rise.

The Hindu spiritual celebration of Diwali, which takes place on November 1 this year, generally lasts for a few days during India’s festive period.

” Some of these products have a 28 % GST rate that the customers claim is excessive,” they say. I think this should be lower”, said Sushil Thakur, director of Arvee Income, an electronics shop in New Delhi.

” If the fees are reduced, next person’s purchasing power will increase. When that happens, income may also grow”, he added.
