In today’s need people work after sunset and prior to sunrise (Night shifts). Working at night times causes severe damage to one’s health. There is time and money involved in taking special care to avoid health issues. Companies’ provide separate allowance for shifts other than (8 AM to 6 PM shifts). That is again taxable. Requesting to provide some exception for the shift & oncall allowances (for the people working apart from 8 AM to 6 PM timing) similar to that of conveyance allowance.

It is also a matter of fact that all citizens do not get awareness of all schemes of government. Should there not be an StateSponsored MobileApp through which govt. schemes related to "My Profile" should be pop up on my screen in my regional language. All such smart phones where this App is pre-installed should be concessionary taxed. All such NGOs/ Charitable Trusts which gets them enrolled on this App (of course with pop-up feature based on user profile) should be allowed tax exemption.

As an alternative to the exceptions on the interest for home loan, there could be investment plan to save money for buying a house in future. Instead of taking a loan and suffering for repayment, save the money and get the house. Don’t have to take the tension of paying EMI. This exception should be apart from 80 c section. A person while constructing the house can produce necessary docs to get that money. Later, if he/she drops the home plan, pay the cumulative tax and get the sum returned.

I hope that the union budget does not curb the funding to the research institutes in the country. The educational institutes like the IITs, IISc, IISERs, TIFR and so on are doing excellent jobs -- and therefore the nation should support them. On the other hand, the govt funded research institutes like the DRDO, ISRO, CSIR labs etc. need better leadership and transparent hiring and administrative process. So, in the budget, some administrative changes can be brought in to clean these places.

Like PMO Welfare Account tax benefit, it should be also applicable to account recently opened for Military Services. This will in turn not only minimize load on Central Gov as well as prompt Nationhood in Bharat desh.

. Then only people will see reason to part their hard earned money to govt as tax. Otherwise the message will be govt just bullying the tax payers. One example of service protect the property lives of the taxpayers must be govt responsibility and if govt fails to protect lives and property of taxpayers govt must blegally bound to give compensession for that. I ask Mr prime minister please make a debut of legally responsible govt. When some work is done by govt it is usually seen ministers and

Budget should emphasise implementing suitable means to deliver its objectives/promised products to the beneficiaries. Mere announcement/budget allocation will not do. For example, farmers' old age pension money is getting stuck on formalities and accumulating with the banks out of consolidated fund of India in the pretext of account no. non-availability. Please look into it. Besides, means must be discovered on how to monitor income generated by hotel industries/food stalls and medicine shops.
