Standardize TDS Slabs - Proposal: Minimize the complex TDS structure to just 1–2 standardized slabs, similar to the GST framework. Justification: Currently, multiple TDS rates create a high compliance burden and confusion. Simplifying this to one rate for salaried individuals and one for higher-bracket payments will streamline tax administration, reduce clerical errors, and significantly improve the ease of tax compliance.

Trade Diversification Strategy - Proposal: Implement aggressive trade diversification to reduce economic over-reliance on the United States. Justification: To insulate the Indian economy from US-specific market volatility and policy shifts, the budget should incentivize exports to Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America. This "de-risking" strategy ensures stable growth by spreading trade dependencies across multiple global partners.

Enhance NPS & Vatsalya Deductions - Proposal: Increase the additional deduction for individual NPS contributions from ₹50,000 to ₹1,50,000 under Section 80CCD(1B). Justification: Strengthening retirement security is vital. Expanding limits for individual contributions and the NPS Vatsalya scheme for minors will encourage long-term disciplined saving, providing a robust social security net and deep capital for national infrastructure projects.

Increase Standard Deduction - Proposal: Increase the Standard Deduction from the current ₹75,000 to ₹1,00,000 or ₹1,50,000. Justification: Given the rising cost of urban living and inflation, a substantial hike is necessary to provide real relief to salaried taxpayers. This will increase disposable income, boost domestic consumption, and reward honest taxpayers under the New Tax Regime.

Dear Sir/Madam, My suggestion for ease of Crypto trading in India which will not harm our economic infrastructure by investing in USDT rather it will strengthen INR. We should immediately implement/Launch our own digital currency INRT which will be backed by Government Bonds and with 1:1 with INR. Any company/institution/Exchange wants INRT will have to invest in our bonds to generate INRT. Just like Tether- an American Private Company which is behind USDT. As we all know United States is currently surviving because of Billions and Trillions of dollar invested in USDT which is an indirect investment in Dollar through bonds. We can do the same for India. It will be very beneficial for our economy in coming years. A full go ahead by the Government of India with better regulations and ease of trading will attract more and more people to invest in India which will strengthen our Rupee against Dollar. If you allow me, I have a full proof plan to execute this.

India is the country which has most crypto holders. But the 30% tax is too high. The high tax prevents new investors and traders entering the crypto industy. I kindly request to reduce the tax. If we have crypto friendly tax the giant crypto firms will enter the indian market
