Honorable Speaker (tanishka): Now the house will take up consideration of the Union Budget,
2004. Ministers please

Home Minister (neeti genhar): The Union budget stands as a pivotal event in the
financial calendar, generating heightened speculation about the government's spending,
fiscal deficit, and individual taxation.one way to boost consumption is to put more
money in the hands of people, and one of the possible ways of doing it is by reducing
the tax burden through tinkering with tax slabs or increasing the standard deduction.

Honorable Speaker (tanishka): Law Minister, would you like to enlighten your views
through your remarks?

Law Minister (Shauryaveer): Strengthening the healthcare value chain is crucial,

particularly in rural areas where a significant portion is still deprived of quality
healthcare. To achieve this, an increase in healthcare spending is essential. The current
budget allocation stands at a meagre 1.6 to 1.8 per cent. It is suggested that we raise it
to 2.5 or 3 per cent of the present budget to make a meaningful impact. With this
budget, we should also try to develop in all sectors.
