    UNION BUDGET 2020 - 2021 INDEX Key Highlights - Economy Key Highlights – Miscellaneous Tax Proposals Market Movements: Equity & Debt Economic Update: • Budget Summary • Revenue Snapshot • Expenditure Snapshot Sector Updates Equity Market: Outlook and Strategy Debt Market: Outlook and Strategy KEY HIGHLIGHTS Though the Union Budget is essentially a Statement of Account of public finances, it has historically become a significant opportunity to indicate the direction and the pace of India’s economic policy. The 2020-21 Union Budget was presented in continuation to strengthen its blueprint laid last year for creating a $5 trillion economy by 2025. This budget is woven around three prominent themes dedicated to provide “Ease of Living” to all citizens and to reinforce the Government’s intention to improve the rural economy by boosting credit and investment in the agriculture and rural sector. Overall, the Indian society, polity and economy have shown remarkable resilience in adjusting with the structural reforms. This year’s budget assumes importance for the current political regime due to it being the first full year budget of the government after coming back to power with a thumping majority. With this background, we present the key highlights of the Union Budget 2020-21. ECONOMY • Total expenditure in BE* 2020-21 is slotted to increase by 12.7% over RE* 2019-20. • Gross tax revenues are expected to grow by 10.8% in FY21, maintaining a double digit growth rate for the sixth year in a row. • Nominal GDP* is estimated to grow at 10% in 2020-21BE. Real GDP growth is expected to be 6.0% (assuming a 4% target inflation rate as per BE).

Serletis [email protected] Deputy Project Leader Brian Allen [email protected] Laura Bloodgood, Joanna Bonarriva, John Fry, John Giamalva, Katherine Linton, Brendan Lynch, and Marin Weaver Primary Reviewers Alexander Hammer and Deborah McNay Office of Economics Michael Ferrantino, Jesse Mora, Jose Signoret, and Marinos Tsigas Administrative Support Phyllis Boone, Monica Reed, and Wanda Tolson Under the direction of Jonathan R. Coleman, Chief Agriculture and Fisheries Division Abstract This report describes and analyzes policies and other factors that affect U.S. agricultural exports to India. The findings suggest that India’s high agricultural tariffs are a significant impediment to U.S. agricultural exports and that certain Indian nontariff measures (NTMs), including sanitary and phyosanitary measures, substantially limit or effectively prohibit certain U.S. agricultural products. Agriculture is vital to India’s economy, accounting for a substantial share of employment (60 percent) and GDP (17 percent).
