6. Macro Economic Overview
Fiscal Deficit Consolidation:
• FM has made an honest attempt to control Fiscal Deficit.
• Marginal increase to Small cuts in major flagship social security programs like MGNREGA.
• But major assumptions in the Budget are still on optimist side. Basic assumption made in this budget are
Nominal GDP growth rate of 14% and Crude in between US $ 110-115 per barrel.
• Budget Estimate of Fiscal Deficit of 5.1% is lower because of expectation of funds from auction of Spectrum.

7. Macro Economic Overview
Fiscal Deficit Consolidation:
• FM has used revenue buoyancy rather than controlling major expenses to rein in Fiscal Deficit
• FM has indicated to control subsides at 2% . Price hike in fuels seems extremely likely. But no clear road map
to remove Fertilizer and Fuel subsidy.
• Revenue from spectrum sale and disinvestments are achievable but are one time.
• Transfer of direct benefits using AADHAR, to help check in leakages.

Tax slabs changed from Rs. 5 to 8 lakhs to Rs. 5 to 10 lakhs.

10 lakh. More clarity is needed, waiting for notification.
