Finance Minister Arun Jaitley presented India's Union Budget for 2014-2015, the first under the new Modi-led government. Key aspects of the budget included maintaining a fiscal deficit target of 4.1% of GDP, aiming for 7-8% economic growth over the next 3-4 years, and increasing foreign direct investment caps in certain sectors such as defense and insurance. The budget also focused on infrastructure development, rural development, job creation, and welfare schemes.
India’s new finance minister, Arun Jaitley, presented his maiden Budget on July 10. Much has been expected from this government, which is widely considered to be pro-industry and reform-friendly.
While the Budget had significant announcement like the raising of foreign investment caps in defense and insurance, as well as a change in income-tax norms, it also set very ambitious growth targets.
Can Jaitley achieve them even as the global economy struggles to get back on track? This is an uphill task and will require more bold and politically tough decisions.

In comparison to the less than ordinary and unimaginative budgetary proposals of yester years, Modi’s maiden budget comes as a welcome change from the norm. The proposals and reforms suggested in the Union Budget 2014-15 are ground breaking, specific with a good measure of thought & common sense and vastly catered for holistic growth of the economy.
The challenging circumstances of a slowing economy, soaring energy prices, inflation, fiscal and current account deficits do not provide adequate leeway to maneuver and hit the path of high growth. Yet the Budget provides a comprehensive plan and directional footprint towards overcoming these hurdles to sustainable growth of 7-8% over the next few years along with providing macro economic stability, lowered inflation, realistic fiscal health targeting and a manageable current account deficit.
The Finance Minister while presenting the budget takes cognizance of the fact that decisive action to fuel growth without populism is the need of the hour. And that resources for developmental expenditure cannot be raised at the cost of burdening the future generations with the legacy of debt. He goes on to emphasize the need to mobilize resources through both tax and non-tax revenues to feed the aspirational developmental expenditure.
In order to achieve this objective the Modi Government has taken head on the various issues plaguing the Indian economy and come out with imaginative and yet very practical and implementable reforms and measures.
