Union Budget 2025: Tax Relief, AI’s Impact on Jobs, and Infrastructure Growth to Boost Economic and Employment Opportunities
With Budget 2025 just days away, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is finalizing preparations to present a plan aimed at driving economic growth and addressing key concerns. Citizens earning between ₹10 to ₹15 lakh annually are anticipated to benefit significantly, as tax relief is likely to be a central feature. This move aims to enhance disposable incomes, boosting consumer spending and keeping the economy on an upward trajectory.
Tax Sops to the Middle Class
The government will provide whopping tax exemptions to middle-class income taxpayers. So, for example, people whose earnings range from ₹10 and ₹15 lakhs would now enjoy a drop in tax incidence. That, of course would increase their disposal incomes. So it is another example of a move by the government to empower the middle-class economy that will hopefully kick the economy into a momentum.

Mitigating the Effects of AI
Among the foremost issues Budget 2025 will confront are AI and its implications on jobs. Where AI is increasingly becoming part of industries, job displacement is also on the rise. In this regard, the government is likely to implement measures to assist the employees who have been replaced by automation and also assist businesses in embracing AI. Moreover, policies to foster innovation and competitiveness in the AI space will keep Indian businesses relevant on the global platform.
The Continuing India Growth Story
The difference between the UPA period and now is striking in terms of the economic performances, as stated by the Centre. The increase in per capita consumption expenditure over the years can be seen – rural consumption at ₹1,430 in 2011-12 and ₹4,122 in 2023-24, urban expenditure from ₹2,630 to ₹6,996, among others. This Budget 2025 is poised to continue to support this momentum towards inclusive economic growth.”.
One other cultural and political significant activity is the halwa ceremony. This is when the budget makers are sequestered, as it is referred to in a more modern parlance. This marks the start of their isolation period before they present the budget. In the past, the event had always been tainted by politics. It should, therefore, have set a positive note for this budget presentation.
As Budget 2025 aligns with crucial political milestones, such as the Delhi elections, it carries high expectations. Citizens and industries alike hope for policies that balance growth with equitable opportunities, making this budget as memorable as it is impactful.
