To encourage JAN BHAGIDARI and to make the procedure of budget formation transparent, the Union Ministry of Finance has decided to invite suggestions for Union Budget 2017-18. As you may recall, this has been a regular feature on MyGov for the last two years.

Citizen from all walks of life are welcome to be a part of the budget making process. You can submit your suggestions either directly in the comments box or attach a PDF document.

Last year we had an overwhelming response with over 40,000+ suggestions for Union/ Railway budget. Several of the suggestions received on MyGov were incorporated in the last year’s budget. To know more about these, click here.

We seek your valuable ideas to continue the tradition of the Union Budget incorporating the citizens’ aspirations. The last date for submissions on this forum is 20th January, 2017.

No transaction in cash more than Rs. 1.00 lakh. 3. The taxes on life saving drugs, bicycle, basic footwears, school shoes should be abolished. Thanks and Regards

Request you to come out with incentive scheme for the tax payers who have paid income taxes for more than 20+ years in form of pension as per the slab system. which will also encourage the people to pay tax. Request you to also think about bringing the tax rate down by enrolling more people towards paying income tax. The entire focus should be to enroll more new tax payers

There is a Tax Benefit on Home loan interest rate but the person should have got the possession of the house. Sir I would like to have your attention here that you are killing the customer from both sides, the builder is not giving the possession on time which is not my fault ,at the same time govt. is also not showing compassion towards me by not giving me tax benefit. I am paying rent,paying EMI,no home and NO TAX BENEFIT as well on interest am paying. please do some correction.

Sir,It is requested that tax exemption benefits regarding retirement payments like leave encashment Gratuity VRS and HRA are not equal for government and non government PSU employees. Can we hope equal treatment for both under income tax law.

Giving direct tax exemption (Income Tax exemption) for payment of indirect tax (sales tax, Central Excise) based on bills maintained by individuals may be considered over and above standard deduction. This will encourage the individuals to ask for bills even for monthly kirana items and may be required to maintain and upload the details with registration no of the supplier while filing IT return for claiming tax exemption. Such exemption shall leads to maintenance of proper accounts by retailrs

My suggestion is to include all non-tax paying wage earners, self-employed, small time businesses like chatwalas, chaiwalas, pan shops and so on and so forth along with every one else get connected to their Aadhaar numbers to pay minimum national insurance contribution in slabs of 2%-12% that would go towards their old age pension as they do in the UK.
