Date: Thursday, 01 February 2018
Time: 6 pm - 7 pm IST
Duration: 60 minutes
Amidst the global developments around the tax world, notably the BEPS Action Plan and US tax reforms, the Honourable Finance Minister will present the Union Budget 2018-19 on 1 February 2018.
This year’s Budget has assumed great significance, since it will be the first Budget after implementation of GST, the most far-reaching tax reform independent India has seen. What makes it doubly important is that it will also be the last full Budget to be tabled by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) Government before the Lok Sabha elections in 2019.
On one hand, the Government is striving hard to rein in fiscal deficit and inflation while at the same time aspiring to garner adequate resources through taxes to fund its various projects and schemes. Therefore, even if fiscal prudence is exercised in this Budget, it will be important for the Government to take into consideration the building expectations of the public. It is certain that it will continue to push forward its growth manifesto and make announcements on key aspects to boost India growth story.
In this exciting scenario, we are pleased to invite you to our Budget day audio webcast on 1 February 2018, with our senior Tax leaders providing their insights on the eagerly awaited changes that are expected to significantly affect the business climate in India.

The year 2017 has been replete with changes and surprises— Demonetization and GST, clearly independent India’s biggest tax reform alongwith liberalisation of FDI norms across sectors. And not to forget India's big leap to the 100th rank in the Ease of Doing Business Index !
Consequently, there are high expectations that this Budget will see further announcements of significant policy-related measures in taxation laws and economic reforms as the country looks to maintain a GDP growth of over 7-7.5%
