Mr. Raktim Chattopadhyay, Founder & CEO, Esperer Nutrition.
"On the eve of the budget of such a large democratic country, there is no point to debate priorities. It’s imperative we want Govt to emphasize social safety. The latest Covid surge appears to be the biggest risk factor for the economy at the moment. We are coming out of a very high fiscal deficit. Common people of the nation expect deduction on medical expenses, tax exemption on annuity income, and a hike in basic exemption cap. So I feel, to achieve the same we must stand strong with Govt and encourage to not compromise on capital expenditure. Because the fear remains, when the emphasis is on controlling the fiscal deficit, the axe always falls on capital expenditure. We must balance our aspirations and reality when looking at the budget critically."
