India Budget 2012-13: Luxuries Become Dearer

It might have appealed to the common man when Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, while presenting the Union Budget 2012-13 in the parliament Friday, announced the decision to raise tax exemption limit to Rs. 2 lakh. But, virtually, people are going to lose more money since service tax, excise tax and customs duty are going to be raised. The budget is the most discomforting to people who seek luxuries of life.
