Pre-Budget: Jobs remain elusive, quality employment even more
As the economy slowly picks up after the pandemic-induced business meltdown, jobs are trickling into the market but their quality is often patchy, as most of them are in the informal sector.
At the same time with population growth and more new entrants joining the job market jostling with those who lost work during the pandemic, job opportunities are still too few and far between.
"Growth is being driven mostly by large corporates who have recovered from two years of COVID-19, but the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) or the semi-formal sector is part dead and in part hasn't recovered from the double whammy of demonetisation and the pandemic," explained Dr Pronab Sen, noted economist and former chairman of the National Statistical Commission.

Need for clarity on equalisation levy; higher tax on virtual digital assets
Among the tax base broadening initiatives taken by the government in recent years in the digital sector, two key measures that have stood out are the equalisation levy and higher tax on virtual digital assets (VDAs). Both measures are aimed at bringing digital transactions into the tax fold. Given the ever-expanding technology footprint and the challenges it has posed for global tax systems, the intent is well-appreciated. However, there is considerable uncertainty surrounding the equalisation levy and taxation of VDAs. The forthcoming Budget should provide greater clarity on these issues to bring greater tax certainty.

Economic Survey 2023 LIVE Updates: The wait for the annual national Budget is almost over as the Union government is set to table the Economic Survey on Tuesday.
Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman will table the pre-Budget document in the Parliament after President Droupadi Murmu’s address to the joint sitting of the two houses of Parliament.
The Economic Survey document, prepared by the Economic Division of the Department of Economic Affairs in the Ministry of Finance and formulated under the supervision of the chief economic adviser V Anantha Nageswaran, will give insights into the state of the economy and various indicators in the current financial year 2022-23 (April-March) and outlook for the next year.
The Economy Survey may also give some idea about the tone and texture of the actual Budget for 2023-24, to be presented on Wednesday.
The first economic survey reportedly came into existence in 1950-51, when it used to be a part of the budget documents. In the 1960s, it was separated from the Budget documents and presented day prior to the Union Budget.
The most important feature which many will look out for is its central theme.
Last year’s central theme was ‘Agile Approach’, which put emphasis on India’s economic response to the Covid-19 Pandemic shock. The preface of the Economic Survey 2022 stated that the “Agile approach” was based on feedback loops, real-time monitoring of actual outcomes, flexible responses, safety-net buffers and so on.
Along with the sectoral chapters, the Survey document also adds new need-based chapters that need focus.
The Economic Survey tabled in 2022 projected India’s GDP growth of 8.0-8.5 per cent in 2022-23, which the government felt will be supported by widespread vaccine coverage, gains from supply-side reforms and easing of regulations, robust export growth, and availability of fiscal space to ramp up capital spending.
Budget 2023 is likely to be the last full Budget of the Modi government in its second term with the next Lok Sabha election due in April-May of 2024.
Like the previous two Union Budgets, Union Budget 2023-24 will also be delivered in paperless form. The Budget documents will be available on the ‘Union Budget Mobile App’ on both the Android and Apple OS platforms after the completion of the Budget Speech by the Finance Minister.
The formal exercise to prepare the annual Budget for the next financial year (2023-24) commenced on 10 October.
The first part of the session will be held from January 31 and will go on till February 13. The Parliament will reconvene after a recess for parliamentary committees to discuss the demand for grants of various ministries. The second part will begin on March 13 and will continue till 6 April.
