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.

As a citizen we are very happy with the changes happening and hope for the more changes. We are ready to pay the tax but Our humble request to make changes in the Education & Medical Facilities 1. Interest Rate for the Eduction Loan should be minimized to have a good & quality education for all who wish to study and make our country proud. 2. A percentage of salary to be deducted towards medical facilities by which all common man will avail the treatment without paying huge amount.

PM and FM sir, if Solar panels to be fixed in houses of the middle class it should be made affordable. Presently the cost is 90k to 125k. The duties should be nil for PV panels upto .25kw so that more people can adopt the solar Power.

1. Creating 4 income tax slabs. Min taxable income increasing from 2.5 lacs to 3 lakhs. Then 3-5 lacs 5% (govt can take credit of demonetization and income tax raids). 5-10 lacs 10%, 10-15 or 20 lacs 20%, 15or 20 lacs and above 30%. Or rates could be adjusted like 5-10-15-20% etc. 2. 80c deduction options should be large enough. It should also include PSU bonds or AAA rating bonds. 3. Sr. Citizens should also get some tax benefit if they r living in old age homes

Personal Income Tax Limit must be raised to Rs. 7 lakhs in this upcoming budget to curb tax evasion. So that people be left with money to spend in this time of higher inflation where money value shrinks to none. Moreover infra spending in roads and improving safe drinking water availability all the day must be the task in this budget. Mandatory provisions for granting Mutual Funds to each and every citizen free of cost of the country must be a focus area in this budget.

To attract more people to pay taxes on time. Govt can link all benefits from govt or from govt services (e.g.: gas subsidy, concession in any govt service charges etc., discount in property tax, discount on electricity bills, discount on train fares, discount on educational fees, banking benefits in govt banks) to the people who had paid tax on time in last 3 years and will be paying this year. Also, govt can offer unconditional tax rebate of say 10% to all the people who are regular tax payers.

Nowadays there has been a wave of 'CASHLESS' hue among the country. To support these the Government should permanently end the MDR and transaction charges being levied while transacting through ATM/Debit Cards, Online Banking and shopping through online modes. Moreover the ATM charges being levied from withdrawals of cash from other bank ATMs must be permanently done away with.

#Budget2017 इस बार के बजट में पुस्तकालयों का भी हिस्सा हो, जिलास्तर पर कृषि प्रोयोगशाला का भी समावेश किया जाए, बागों के संरक्षण और विस्तार का भी ध्यान रक्खा जाये, एक के साथ एक फ्री का ऑफर के सहारे दाम बढ़ाने का खेल भी नियंत्रण में हो,लखीमपुर से सीतापुर होते हुए लखनऊ लाइन को पर डबल लाइन का प्रावधान किया जाए. उसे कानपुर तक जोड़ा जाए यह पहले था अब बंद है सीतापुर से हरदोई मार्ग पर ट्रेन कम हैं. लखनऊ से जगन्नाथ पुरी के लिए एक ट्रेन है वो भी सप्ताह में तीन दिन ??? #IndianRailways

Sir these days students are getting stressed out at school. This stress carries forward to later in life and that is why we are seeing more people who are depressed and not able to deal with failures in their life. I strongly urge you to incorporate Sudarshan Kriya and / or meditation in the curriculum of students from the coming academic year.
