<h2>The FY25 budget may see a 5-7% increase in capital expenditure and welfare subsidies over the interim budget. The interim budget had allocated Rs 11.11 lakh crore, and industries recommend a 25% rise in spending</h2>

The upcoming full budget for FY25 may see increased capital expenditure and welfare subsidy allocations compared to the estimates projected in the Interim Budget, reported Business Today. As per the report, the government is mulling to increase the estimate for capital expenditure by a further 5-7% over the estimate made in the interim budget.
<h3>Capital Expenditure in Budget</h3>
In the interim budget that was presented in February, the Centre had allocated Rs 11.11 lakh crore, representing an 11% increase over budget estimate for the previous fiscal year, and a 16.9% rise over the actual spending.
&ldquo;Capital expenditure has been our focus and discussions are underway to see what can be done,&rdquo; a person aware of the matter told Business Today.
This is also in line with the expectations of industries who have sought increased capital expenditure by the Centre. In a recent press conference, Chairman and Managing Director, ITC Ltd and President, Confederation of Indian Industry Sanjiv Puri suggested that the government should consider raising spending on this account by 25% this fiscal year.
He mentioned the windfall dividend of Rs 2.1 trillion from the Reserve Bank of India and robust tax receipts as supporting factors. He went on to say that an increase in spending on asset creation, combined with an anticipated rise in private investments, would help India achieve 8% real GDP growth for the second consecutive year.
<h3>Welfare Spending</h3>
The Business Today report further added that the government is considering up to a 5% increase in various subsidy allocations. The Interim Budget had allocated Rs 4.1 lakh crore for subsidies, 7% lower than the revised estimate of Rs 4.41 lakh crore for 2023-24.&nbsp;

The economic agenda would include steps to fast-rack reforms to make India a USD 5-trillion economy in near future and turn the country into a 'Viksit Bharat' by 2047.
The Indian economy is projected to grow 7.2 per cent in the current fiscal on the back of improving rural demand and moderating inflation, as per RBI estimates.

Clarification states that when you calculate taxes, you need to include both your regular income and your income from farming. Previously, only regular income was considered for tax calculation

Budget 2024: Income from farming counts in New Tax slab calculations

Clarification states that when you calculate taxes, you need to include both your regular income and your income from farming. Previously, only regular income was considered for tax calculation

The Interim Budget 2024 has brought forth a vital clarification regarding the taxation of agricultural income under the new tax regime. The clarification specifically addresses the computation of tax slabs for individual and Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) taxpayers who earn both regular and agricultural income.
The prevailing provisions of the Income Tax Act have traditionally exempted agricultural income from taxation. The taxation for individual and HUF taxpayers is typically based on applicable slab rates.
When an individual or HUF taxpayer earns both regular and agricultural income, the exempt agricultural income is factored into the determination of the applicable income slab. For instance, if an individual has business income of Rs 8 lakh and agricultural income of ₹10 lakh, the tax slab is set at 30%, but the tax is calculated only on the business income of ₹8 lakh.
The Finance Bill outlines that "the income-tax chargeable shall be computed" by aggregating total income and net agricultural income, determining income tax at specified rates as if such aggregate income were the total income. This clarification ensures a consistent approach in treating agricultural income for taxation purposes, aligning the existing tax regulations with the provisions of the optional tax regime. This move is poised to bring about coherence and transparency in the taxation system, providing clarity to taxpayers who possess both regular and agricultural income.
