India Inc seeks cut in personal income tax rates, flags dumping by China at pre-Budget meet
Industry bodies have urged the finance minister to consider reducing personal income tax rates, lowering excise duty on fuel, and implementing measures to boost employment-intensive sectors in the upcoming budget. Concerns about Chinese product dumping, food security, and inflation due to climate change were also highlighted.
Representatives from industry bodies sought reduction in personal income tax rates to ensure higher disposable income in the hands of the middle class, reduction in excise duty on fuel, and measures to provide impetus to employment-intensive sectors in their customary pre-Budget meeting with the finance minister on Monday. Industry bodies also raised the issue of dumping of excess stock by China globally, including in India, and challenges posed to food security and inflation due to the "climate emergency", during the fifth pre-Budget consultation meeting.
