The whole world has been severely affected with the coronavirus pandemic and India is also no exception to it. The Indians were hoping that Budget 2021 would give some boost to the Indian economy and today the finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented her third budget and the first paperless budget as this year’s budget hasn’t been printed and it will be available digitally only.

In Budget 2021, no change has been proposed in the income tax slabs but an announcement has been made regarding the scrapping of income tax for the senior citizens of the country but under some conditions only. The finance minister gave a boost to the healthcare as Rs. 2 lakh crore have been allocated for it which also include Rs. 35K crore for the vaccine development and vaccination. Textile industry has also been given a push by increasing the custom duty on raw silk and cotton while automobile sector has been boosted by announcing a new policy for vehicle scrapping. An agri cess has also been added – Rs. 4 on diesel and Rs. 2.5 on petrol.

The foreign direct investment (FDI) in insurance has also been increased from 49 percent to 74 percent and government has shown its interest in allowing foreign ownership but has also implemented some safety measures. As far as infrastructure is concerned, the Indian states – Tamil Nadu, Kerala, West Bengal and Assam will get major spending on highway expansions. Well at the same time, how we can forget to mention that there will be elections in these states soon.

There are many other announcements which have been made by the finance minister and there is no doubt that today the main topic of discussion in the country and for the news channels will be budget and its analysis. Social media users who don’t like to lag behind in anything made no delay in expressing their opinion on Budget 2021 also and here are some of the selected memes which will make you go ROFL:
