Stay tuned to our live blog as we bring all the relevant developments and updates on Union Budget 2024.
Here Are The Live Updates On Union Budget 2024:
Can Chandrababu Naidu's Rich Adopt Poor Plan Bridge The Gap?
The IMF (The International Monetary Fund) in its report in April 2024 had estimated India's GDP growth to be 6.8%. In July 2024, it revised the forecast by 20 basis points to 7%. The organisation reasoned that better private consumption, especially in rural India, is responsible for this growth outlook.
Despite such favourable numbers, India, which is poised to become the third-largest economy in the world by 2029, remains a poor country. With a per capita income of US $2,730, India continues to be one of the low ranked countries in the League of Nations and the poorest among BRICS and G-20 nations. A majority of India's 1.4 billion people continue to survive on the margins.
Perhaps, as a cure for poverty, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu recently called on India's top 10% to 'adopt' the bottom 20%. Addressing the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) virtually, Mr Naidu urged the close involvement of Indian corporates in this mission. "Today, I am putting one proposal before you. Disparities are increasing day by day and there are poor people. Can you do something for them? This is where I am proposing P4 (Public Private People's Partnership)," he said.

Budget 2024: For The 1st Time, Private Sector Allowed to Invest in Atomic Energy
India's atomic energy got a positive nudge today with Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman saying, "Nuclear energy is expected to form a very significant part of the energy mix for Viksit Bharat."

In another big announcement, the private sector has been allowed to partner in setting up nuclear plants for the first time.
The NITI Aayog has been urging the government to look at small reactors more seriously. "Private sector being permitted is a big new opening," says VK Saraswat, Member of Science and Technology at NITI Aayog. "I am very happy to see the government has accepted the further development of small reactors since atomic energy has a very low carbon footprint and offers assured base power supply," he adds."

Union Budget 2024: Opposition Rubbishes NDA Budget With "Kursi Bachao" Tag
The first budget of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's third term has been received with disdain by the newly-strengthened Opposition.

Budget 2024: How To Calculate Long-Term And Short-Term Capital Gains After Tax Hike
The Union Budget for 2024-25 has introduced a significant capital gains tax regime adjustment. In her Budget speech on Tuesday, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said, "A beginning is being made in the Finance Bill by simplifying the tax regime for charities, TDS rate structure, provisions for reassessment and search provisions and capital gains taxation."
Long-term financial assets have been listed and held for more than a year. To be considered long-term, all non-financial assets and unlisted financial assets must be held for a minimum of two years. Regardless of the holding period, unlisted bonds, debentures, debt mutual funds and market-linked debentures will be subject to capital gains tax at the applicable rates.
Long-term capital gains tax (LTCG): The tax on long-term capital gains has been increased from the existing 10 per cent to 12.5 per cent for both financial and non-financial assets. "For the benefit of the lower and middle-income classes, I propose to increase the limit of exemption of capital gains on certain financial assets to Rs 1.25 lakh per year," said Ms Sitharaman.

Taxpayers Must Show Home Rent Income Under 'Income From House Property' In IT Returns: Centre
Union Budget 2024: All rental income of individual taxpayers from residential properties will be charged under the head 'income from house property' and not as income from business or profession, according to the Budget document.
