  • No new cess on personal income tax. Simplification of tax filing and dispute resolution is a positive.

  • Overall, budget has provided for higher government spend without increase in personal and corporate taxes or cess. No changes in capital gains structure is also a positive. Positive for cyclical recovery in earnings at the expense of higher fiscal deficit.

I think the Audit turnover limit has also increased from 5cr to 10cr for 95 % digital transactions, something very useful for regular day traders…

Do we need to audit for 2 cr or 5 cr. Right now ?

No limit on paid up capital and Turnover for One Person Company ?

So we can now operate OPC without any limit ? Don’t have to convert to Private Limited company.

Does OPC can get alpha membership or become member ?

Employer contribution is not included in 2.5 lacs but VPF WILL be. Idea is to limit tax-free status for employee contribution to 2.5 lacs and vpf is also contributions from employees
