However, there is a demand from people of other cities like Bangalore, Pune to get the same benefits.
Change in tax slab

Expectations of common people
The general budget is going to be presented soon in the country. People have a lot of expectations before the budget. This time people have some special expectations from the budget. The reason for this is that this is the last full budget of Modi government 2.0. Meanwhile, salaried employees form the largest group of taxpayers in the country. In such a situation, getting some relief to these people in the budget can have a big impact on this group.
