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.

Citizen from all walks of life are welcome to be a part of the budget making process. You can submit your suggestions either directly in the comments box or attach a PDF document.

We seek your valuable ideas to continue the tradition of the Union Budget incorporating the citizens’ aspirations. The last date for submissions on this forum is 20th January, 2017.

Written by: Sarah Hunter and Katie Hong "A stable home is critical to the development of children and young adults. When they spend their energy wondering where they’ll sleep and what to eat, it’s nearly impossible for them to focus on doing well in school and preparing for their future. If all homes will grow,country will grow.

As per government policy home loan interest in decreased in SBI and other. But for the existing customer they charge big amount to change the interest rate, which is not possible for a person who is already having burden of home loan. Can there be any change to it?

Sir, Thank you for the opportunity to share our inputs on Budget 2017. Here are few pointers: 1. Tax exemption should be provided to a minimum of 5 Lakh income slab. 2. 80 c tax exemption should be increased to 3 lakh from 1.5 lakh. 3. 80 d medical tax exemption should be increased to 50k from 15k. 4. Education loan interest rate should be reduced to 4% to 5% especially if students are studying in India. 5. Pensioners should not be taxed. Regards Devashruti Banerjee

I may ask you to give some relief in Tax slabs, But 0% interest to farmers is more important than my tax benefit.so many farmers are in distressed condition. With 0% interest on Crop loans, we may save agriculture sector and farmers in India from suicides.

Sir,This is Narasimha,Working in Officer Cadre at Regional Rural Bank in Andhra Pradesh. Now my request is to announce Interest Free Crop Loans in this budget to all the farmers in India. At present, GOI is providing 5% interest subvention on crop loans to farmers.Now you are required to provide 4% more Additional Interest subvention to farmers. I am advising this after knowing the opinion of farmers at ground level as a Bank Employee.

किसी भी वस्तु के बिल को रखने की जिम्मेदारी क्रेता और विक्रेता की बराबर होनी चाहिए. बिल न होने की वजह से दोनों दँड के अधिकारी होने चाहिए

The fallowing are the initiatives to be set up in the Budget. 1. All the Educational loans should be made interest free especially for the girls as the interest burden should be paid by the government. 2. We should set up training institutes like for films TV and Aerospace, like air hostess and pilots, front desk managers, Retail ,secretarial services,media and News reporting only for Kashmiri girls to fight the Taliban mindset

मेरी भारत सरकार से और वित्त मंत्रालय से निवेदन है कि अपने बजट में वो ग्रामीण लोगों और पहाड़ से पलायन को देखते हुए कुछ अहम और महत्वपूर्ण फैसले लें, पहाड़ी इलाकों जैसे उत्तराखंड है यहाँ पर बेरोजगारी,स्कूल,हॉस्पिटल,बैंक,एटीएम पानी, शिक्षा आदि का अभाव होने से लोग हररोज अपनी देवभूमि पहाड़ से पलायन करने पर मजबूर हैं |लोगों के घरों में ताले लग चुके हैं स्वदेशी खानपान का अभाव हो गया है क्योंकि रोजगार नहीं हैं सुबिधाएं नहीं हैं तो खेती बाड़ी भी बंजर हो गए हैं ये बहुत ही विचारणीय और देश के लिये संकट का सबब है
