Budget 2008: Good times ahead
PC is going to present Union budget for the 7th time, and this time its a far cry from the good old days with share market in shambles. And it is expected to remain in the same state of inertia for the time being unless the budget is a hugely populist one. Chidambaram is notoriously famous in investor community with his share of Capital gains tax, ST tax, Service tax and 'whatelseisremaining' tax. But this time, investors can expect relief (read no new taxes) and he may infact lend a helping hand in the form of reduced income taxes, ofcourse for a helping hand in return (Congress). Whatever be the budget, India's long term growth story remains intact. So, Happy investing....
