I believe this was the right time to introduce these measures, the RBI and government have worked together and this is the 4th booster and will revive the economy.

6. This is an extraordinarily good announcement, it is the big bang reform we have been asking for it and glad that this was announced. It is a positive sign that the government is aware of what is happening and is aligned towards revival of animal spirits. It will encourage the FIIs and will bring them back to invest more. Our manufacturing companies were paying full tax now we will reinvest what we will save and that will create more jobs. The financial sector will see a good positive change.
