As Budget 2025 nears, experts from the finance and business sectors seek more consistent tax treatment across asset classes, especially between mutual funds and alternative investments. They advocate for tailored measures to support non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) in infrastructure growth, including tax-free bonds. Key expectations include simplifying capital gains taxes, increasing Section 80C limits, and enhancing compliance for MSMEs. Experts also emphasize the need for policies that facilitate electric vehicle financing and improve digital infrastructure. Overall, they hope the budget will foster economic growth, financial inclusion, and clarity for investors amidst existing complexities.
