Dr. Jaswinder Singh Brar discussed the budget in context of major problems of the economy like rural distress, again crisis, economic slow down, banking sector scams etc. He was not much in the faoour of budget. He was highly worried for the salaries class who did not get much in this budget. He quoted that in counties like Srilanka and others, there is no tax on teachers salary. But there is no such provision in country like ours. Even agriculture sector which was touted to get much from this budget was also a mere eyewash Government is just focusing on announcing so many things but is not clear about the allocation of fund. As far as indirect taxes are concerned, GST implementation has limited its flexibility. He briefly touched each and every aspect of the budget.
