The interim budget to be tabled on February 1 is expected to focus on relief for the middle class, measures to check inflation, agriculture, manufacturing, welfare schemes, and the goal of building a $5 trillion economy. It will also emphasize the government’s economic vision for women, youth, farmers, and the poor. No major new schemes are expected, but there may be adjustments to direct taxes and customs duties. The government is also prepared to take pre-emptive measures to control inflation caused by supply disruptions due to geopolitical reasons. | Latest News India
