“It will give strength to the middle class. Backward classes will also be strengthened while women’s economic participation in the country’s growth will also be ensured. Small traders as well as MSMEs will find adequate support for fast-paced growth,” he added.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday presented the first Budget of Modi 3.0, showcasing nine priorities of the government.

PM Modi further said that the Budget will give an unprecedented push to job generation and self-employment in the country.

“NDA government in last 10 years ensured that those in the lower and middle-income tax category get relief. Revision in tax slabs and increase in Standard deduction is a step in this direction. Every taxpayer stands to benefit from this,” PM Modi said.

He said that the Budget will act as a catalyst in taking forward the India growth story and make India the third largest country in next few years.

“It will lay a strong foundation for the emergence of Viksit Bharat,” PM Modi stated.
