Union Budget 2017 18

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley proposed Eklavya schools for tribal population, 24 new medical colleges, Prime Minister Research fellowships among other schemes in his Union Budget 2018 presentation today for education sector.

Firms said the absence of a robust electronics manufacturing ecosystem in the country will only restrain the Make in India and Digital India vision.

The Electronics Development Fund (EDF) is at "an all-time high" of Rs. 745 crores - a move welcomed by some of the leading smartphone players.

Counterpoint has estimated that the Budget 2017-18 may raise the mobile phone prices by up to 1-2 percent.

The industry is particularly enthused by the removal of import duty for point of sales (PoS) machines.

The latest budget imposes a 2 percent Special Additional Duty (SAD) on populated printed circuit boards (PCBs) for use in the manufacture of mobile phones.

All the India Union Budget 2017 highlights and updates, announced on February 1 by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.

The government on Saturday pushed back the deadline to cut the fiscal deficit to 3 per cent of gross domestic product to 2017/18, a year later than previously expected, seeking more elbow room to focus on economic growth.
