The premier think-tank of the Government of India, NITI Aayog (National Institution for Tranforming India) provides crucial directional and policy support to the Centre as well as State governments. On the release of the Union Budget 2016, NITI is pleased to announce that we will interact directly with the citizens of the country.

On March 3rd at 3 pm, the CEO of NITI Aayog, top bureaucrat, Mr. Amitabh Kant will talk about what the Budget spells for key policies formulated by the Government of India. Reflecting on the government’s focus sectors and schemes, the CEO will explain the direct bearing budget will have on employment generation, investments and economic growth in the country.

Steering an institution that infuses new policy ideas to enable the Government to act in the best interests of public, Mr. Kant will also detail NITI Aayog’s role in translating schemes and policies, as enunciated in the Budget, into action on ground.

Besides providing an exclusive, expert perspective on the Union Budget, Amitabh Kant will also take questions directly from the viewers. Questions may be asked in advance, and through the duration of the talks on both days, via NITI Aayog’s Twitter and Facebook page.

What worries me is how can a Government even think of taxing EPF. It is hard earned savings of an individual to be used in his old age. Individual plans all his life on how it will be put to use He/she knows best how to put it into use and here comes a government who tells him "tax or annuity". So much for freedom to use hard earned money!!! The Government may succumb to pressure and withdraw it. So what????

Income tax + surcharge from 12 % to 15 % + 10 % dividend tax. i.e. greater than 45 % for honest taxpayer doing well VDIS scheme - 45 % tax for dishonest tax payer - no question asked. Sadly, it encourages all high ups to take easier way of induldging in bribes and corruption Great proposal

Tax on epf is equivalent to retrospective tax on corporates.EPF used to be most safe and trusted saving.It lowers public confidence in govt schemes.It happened with NSS as well.EPF contributions shall be made voluntary in such scenario

It is highly shameful that you have launched Compliance Window scheme or VDIS or whatever the name. It means that people should do away with their sins of corruption by paying 45% taxes. Again they should start corruption in full fledged then again government like you will launch VDIS scheme after 5-7 years. There is no scope for Truth or Hard work. I strongly condemn about the Compliance Window or VDIS scheme. You actually want corruption to grow by leaps & bounds.

Start-ups - a positive step. With start-up technologies, business all over the World is possible, sitting in India. Then we go for POEM?? How sad. Purpose is defeated. Sitting in India, one can open organisations all over the world and run them efficiently with staff posted there and guidance from India by the present day communication methods. POEM encourages such an Indian to become a NRI and shift from India rather than operating from India. Who wants to work on the whims of an IT officer?

#Ask NITI: Respected Sir, The Young Professionals Program by the NITI Ayog should be launched again. However, the age should be increased from 32 to 35 years.

#Ask NITI: Respected Sir, The Young Professionals Program (YP's) launched by Niti Ayog in 2015 was laudable. It should be launched again at the earliest. If pissible, in March, 2016 itself. It will be beneficial to the youth and the nation and will empower both.

Dear Sir, Can we have post offices, use ECS / NEFT facilities for payment of interest / repayment of maturity amount under various schemes? Currently only Monthly Income Scheme has this facility. However, similar schemes operated by banks (Senior Citizen Savings Scheme) have ECS / NEFT facilities. Thanks. Harsh Vora

Dear sir, The budget was on the expected lines but I have a few specific questions which remain unanswered: 1. I feel that top NPAs of PSBs should be analysed and strict action should be taken. 2. I wish that the Honble FM gave an update on the construction of new IITs and IIMs that he mentioned in his previous budget. 3. In my view the FM should have provided Defence Ministry with huge amount of money to improve quality of weapons in our armed forces and increase the salary of our soldiers.
