Hope is the only thing which drives us to look forward despite of all the sufferings we are going from. Who are We? We THE COMMON MAN. Budget 2018 is nothing but it was a last hope from this government term of 5 years, to get us some ointment on our healing wounds of compliances and harassment of tax policies.
For understanding key highlights of the Budget, Mr. Bimal Jain has recorded a Video Presentation on Union Budget, 2018, discussing the various amendments brought/proposed in Indirect Taxes along with suggesting the GST road map which could have been the part of Budget.
The new budget which was introduced by Mr Jaitley saw the reintroduction of tax on Long term capital gain @10% with certain restrictions. The pivotal part of this restriction can be entirely put into one word i.e GRANDFATHERING as on 31st January 2018 , which certainly is inspired by tweets of Mr Shashi tharoor considering the usage of such a rare word.
The key Union Budget 2018 Announcements are summarized here under and a detailed executive summary of Income Tax Provisions is also attached for your ready reference.
This Union Budget 2018 presentation is restricted to the direct tax proposals only. All tax proposals are applicable with effect from 01/04/2019 i.e. from Assessment Year 2019-20, unless and otherwise specified. This presentation is for knowledge sharing purpose only and for private circulation only. It should not be considered as professional advice in any form or manner.
