Delhi Traders React to Union Budget

Delhi Traders React to Union Budget

Traders in Delhi’s Gandhi Nagar Market have different opinions about the Union Budget.

Some think it’s not very helpful for small businesses and local markets.

They say it’s similar to last year’s budget and doesn’t do much to help them.

One trader mentioned that the budget mostly helps people traveling abroad by reducing a tax.

Another trader thinks the budget is good because it sets fair tax rates on products, which will help both traders and customers.

The market has been slow since the COVID-19 pandemic, and traders hope the government will do more to help.

Some traders also like that the budget makes studying abroad cheaper and increases the prices of alcohol and cigarettes.
