Overall this budget is good. However, ICT Industry was looking for more support from the Govt. We had recommended a 100% depreciation on financing of IT equipments which was not included. On taxation aspect, the excise/CVD exemption is unclear as it was not stated whether VAT is included in this or not. The Govt. has also put a huge focus on R&D and it is good to see continuity of fiscal stimuli by the Govt.
