“The Union budget clearly outlines the focus on promoting digital economy and fintech, growth of MSMEs, accelerating energy transition, making India self-reliant among other developments for inclusive growth. Good to see a much needed focus on MSMEs through interlinking Udyam, e-Shram, NCS, and ASEEM portals for ease of doing business and encouraging entrepreneurship. Moreover, tax incentives provided to startups have been extended till 2023 which is a welcome move in this ongoing pandemic.”
