Increasing middle class will be key driver for India’s GDP growth: Venkaiah Naidu

24 Jan 2018 Evaluate

The Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu has said that the increasing middle class would be the main driver of India's gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the coming years. He also indicated that with the large population of India, about 65 percent below the age of 35, the need of the hour of is to take full advantage of this demographic number by creating adequate job opportunities for the young population. Besides, he said that merely turning out lakhs of students with degrees is not enough and added that they must be taught life skills.

Naidu has stated that while India must improve its tax-to-GDP ratio and curb tax evasion, there should be no needless harassment of tax-payers. He also said that the country needs to ramp up its tax-to-GDP ratio, currently at 16.6 percent, to fund a modern, twenty-first century government which can offer basic public facilities and social security to its citizens. Regarding the government’s ambitious Rs 2.11 lakh crore bank recapitalisation plan, he believed that such move is expected to improve the credit growth and private sector investment. He also noted that introduction of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code has strengthened creditors’ rights.

Vice president further highlighted that one of the major objectives of both demonetisation and Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime was to increase tax compliance. He pointed out that the expansion of formal economy will lead to increased tax collection and higher revenues, which will be used to accelerate development by building essential infrastructure. He noted that while tax evasion has to be dealt with sternly, it should be ensured that there is no unnecessary harassment of tax payers by overzealous officials. He added that the GST has changed the face of the indirect tax regime as it brings one tax instead of multiplicity of taxes.
