STT from a business income perspective can now be shown as expenditure I guess.

Increase in personal tax exemption limit to be  positive for consumer companies, banks that are catering to the up market citizen and normally to everyone who is dealing with that class of people..
 
Increase in short term capital gains is a big negative.
 
 

Wanted to add that increase in short term capital gains will hit the already wounded brokerages.Reduction in set top boxes could stop DIsh TV from sliding further.

But isnt that already available currently?
Poeple who show their capital gains as their business income can currently
reduce STT from the tax liability - Basant can clarify this, after all, he falls
in that category! Wink

In tier 2 and tier 3 cities, hospitals/doctors are milking the money. Why do they need tax holiday? are they going to provide free health care?

While one person hesitates because he feels inferior, the other is busy making mistakes and becoming superior.
