The Union Budget for fiscal year 2022-23 was unveiled by Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman this morning with the aim to boost growth amid the Covid-19 pandemic. The big focus of the Budget was on infrastructure spending with significant increase in capital expenditure outlay. Some experts have called this budget a mix of short-term booster doses and long-term structural emphasis. There has been no change in personal income tax slabs, although taxpayers can now file an updated return within 2 years from the assessment year. Tune in as Hindustan Times Editor-in-Chief Sukumar Ranganathan and HT’s Data and Political Economy Editor Roshan Kishore join Aditi Prasad to decode Budget 2022-2023.
