Budget 2023

A traders’ body has sought relief for the middle-class people and small traders in the upcoming budget. The Chamber of Trade and Industry (CTI)- a Delhi-based association of traders- has written a letter to Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman expressing their concerns.

In a statement, the CTI lamented that middle class and the nearly 20 lakh traders of Delhi have got no relief in the budget in the past eight years but expressed hope that they will get some in this session.

CTI Chairman Brijesh Goyal suggested that taxpayers who are senior citizens should get social security and retirement benefits based on the basis of taxes paid in the past.

The traders’ body in its pre-budget recommendation letter to the finance minister said that government should restore and increase the cash transaction limit for ease of doing business.

It said that cash transaction limit has not increased for twenty years and was reduced from Rs 20,000 to Rs 10,000, six years ago, to promote digital payments. The Rs. 20,000 limit was running for 22 years and needs to expanded, it said.

Article 40A of the Income Tax Act states that any payment in cash above ₹ 10,000 to any person in a day shall not be allowed as a deduction in the computation of Income.

The CTI also demanded affordable loans for the middle-class, separate schemes and packages to promote the manufacturing sector and the Make in India initiative, and an export hub to promote trade.

Union Budget 2023 will likely be the last full Budget of the Narendra Modi-led government in its second term with the next Lok Sabha polls due in April-May of 2024.

The budget will be presented tomorrow, February 1, 2023, in a paperless form, like the last two budgets.

Google restores delisted Indian apps after government intervention

Google on Saturday restored all Indian apps it had removed.

Google has started to restore all the delisted Indian mobile apps on Play Store agian, which they had removed due to a disagreement over service fees. After a discussion between company representatives and IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, the decision was made, according to sources.

The step was taken in response to Vaishnaw’s strong statement in which he said that it is not allowed for apps to be removed from the Google Play Store. The minister had said, India is very clear, our policy is very clear…our startups will get the protection that they need.

Vaishnaw  continued saying that he has already given Google a call. They will be speaking with the app developers who were delisted this week. This is not acceptable. The minister said this kind of delisting cannot be permitted.

Ten Indian companies’ apps were banned by Google on Friday, causing outrage in one of its fastest-growing markets. With 94% of phones running on its Android platform, Google holds a large portion of the Indian market. Popular names like Naukri and Bharatmatrimony were on the list.

The main point of contention is Google’s in-app purchase fees, which range from 11% to 26%. Indian startups have long opposed the US tech giant’s actions, believing them to be unfair.

The founder of Bharat Matrimony, Christian Matrimony, Muslim Matrimony, and Jodii, Matrimony.com, expressed shock at the matchmaking apps’ removal from the Google Play Store.

Shaadi. Com CEO Anupam Mittal described it as a dark day for India’s internet, highlighting the possible broad effects on matchmaking services. He also called Google an evil.

While, Kuku FM Co-founder Vinod Kumar Meena in a statement had said that Google was behaving like a monopoly.

Meanwhile, Google temporarily withdrew the famous Indian payments app Paytm from the Play Store in 2020, claiming a few policy infractions. Due to this decision, the founder of the company as well as the larger startup community came together to build their own app stores and file lawsuits against Google.
