Union Budget

The COVID pandemic has resulted in the biggest disruption of the global economy including the Indian economy. The Indian Government was faced with the primary challenge of balancing the health impact of COVID along with the economic impact of lockdowns.

The year 2021 begins with a ray of hope as several vaccines are ready for use and the government is preparing for a massive rollout across the country. As the world is hoping to bounce back in 2021 and will relook at its supply chain, there is a huge opportunity for the Indian economy to catapult it into a high growth economy once again. At the same time, the fiscal deficit needs to be maintained at reasonable levels so that India’s debt levels do not become unmanageable.

The upcoming Budget will probably be the most crucial budget in Indian history, as it looks at resetting the growth agenda and managing fiscal prudence. With the Union Budget to be presented on 1 February 2021, one keenly awaits to watch the way forward for the Indian economy.

We have created this microsite to keep you updated on all aspects of the budget. You will find information about the webinars, views from our senior leaders and documents on impact of the budget to you and your business.
