Central Budget 2025-26: Anticipations Rise for Tax Changes, Smartphone Price Reductions, and Economic Focus.

Countdown to Union Budget 2025-26

There are only four days left until the presentation of India’s Union Budget for the financial year 2025-26, which is scheduled for 1st February. This budget will include important provisions related to direct tax.

Government Fund Allocations

The government will allocate funds across various sectors, and people from all regions and communities are keenly observing what this budget will bring. Experts suggest that the traditional income tax regime may see some changes, and there are talks about making smartphones more affordable.

Impact on Prices

The budget not only influences the prices of goods but also plays a significant role in determining service sector pricing. Citizens hope that Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will address key issues like inflation, employment, and overall economic growth in this budget. Last year, the focus was on public infrastructure and sustainable development, and this time, new allocations could be announced for crucial areas such as Railways, Aviation, Health Services, Hospitality, Data Centers, and Manufacturing.

Smartphone Prices Might Drop

Experts predict that the 2025 budget may lower import duties on parts used in smartphones, as manufacturers have requested a reduction in these fees. If this change occurs, it could lead to a decrease in smartphone prices in India, as lower import duties would reduce production costs.
