The upcoming Budget 2025 is expected to introduce major policy changes across various sectors. These include adjustments in income tax slabs, increased investment in agriculture, reforms in foreign direct investment (FDI) policies, and measures to stabilise the rupee.
The budget is expected to have an increased focus on the agriculture sector, with higher capital expenditure aimed at improving productivity and supporting rural growth.
Some tax reforms may also take place, including the phasing out of the old tax regime. A significant change could be the introduction of zero income tax for individuals earning less than ₹10 lakh per annum, aiming to provide relief to middle-income earners and boost spending.
FDI policies may be eased to attract more foreign investments, boosting economic activity and job creation. Additionally, steps to stabilise the rupee could include measures to control inflation and ensure fiscal discipline.
The overall approach of Budget 2025 is expected to balance fiscal responsibility while promoting economic growth.
