The annual Union Budget is the Finance Minister's report on government spending and revenues from the previous year and planned spending for the coming year. Key topics of the budget include changes in tax rates and duties on various goods and services. This year's budget maintained income tax rates but imposed a 10% surcharge on incomes over Rs. 1 crore. It allocated increased funding for sectors like defense, health, education, agriculture, and women's programs. While some goods like luxury cars saw increased duties, others like textiles faced reduced duties. The budget aimed to boost investment in infrastructure and encourage foreign direct investment.
