Income tax relief, repo rate cut to boost recovery in consumption in economy: Nirmala Sitharaman

10 Feb 2025 Evaluate

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said that income tax relief provided for in the Union Budget coupled with RBI repo rate cut put together will boost recovery in consumption in the economy. In Union Budget for 2025-26 tabled on February 1, the finance minister had announced that no income tax will be payable on income up to Rs 12 lakh, providing significant relief to taxpayers, especially the middle class. Earlier, this limit was Rs 7 lakh. An estimated one crore middle-income Indian taxpayers will be out of tax net.

She said ‘Since after the budget, the few inputs that I’ve had from some business leaders and some senior journalists who have been interacting with business is that (though these are anecdotal)… Most of it seem to be on the same page that the orders for fast moving consumer goods for the period April to June are already getting booked, and industry is clearly seeing the signs of a possible recovery of consumption.’

As a result of fresh demands, she said that many businesses were looking at reviewing the capacity utilization. Further, she said  ‘I see it a positive sign, and with yesterday’s decision of the RBI (the reduction of repo rate), I’m sure together, things can move in alignment.’
