Conclusion : From this Budget its clearly we can find there ll be increase in prices of products and services as the service tax and Excise duty have been increased. The Savings in increase in exemption limit ll be cascaded by removal of infrabods investment, increase in tax rates in service tax and excise duty. Your Telephone , Train / Air Tickets , Food ll increase due to increase in service tax . If you are planning for a purchase of new apartment it ll also cost more by 2% and also there ll be increase in purchase price of the car and other capital goods as the Excise duty also increased.
In the end , Common Man ll always suffer for Everything . Corporate and politicians are enjoying a lot in the name of common man or aam adhmi whatever it may be.
