The Union Budget had proposed on Saturday that NRIs have to pay up taxes on global earnings, if they're not paying in any other jurisdiction or country, generating much debate

'The disappointment is on the lack of bold, out of the box measures to tackle the current economic slowdown'

Abolishing DDT will attract investments, said Ajit Menon, CEO of PGIM India Mutual Fund

On Saturday, the benchmark indices closed near their day's lows, indicating further selling pressure on the following trading day

Economists and industry leaders said the budget proposals would provide some support to growth over the longer term but were insufficient to give it an immediate boost

Finance minister clarified that only Indian income of NRIs is proposed to be taxed under the new provision

Real estate developers' apex bodies CREDAI and Naredco have also expressed disappointment over the Budget as their demand of one-time restructuring of builders' loan was not met

He said the Budget gives an option to individuals to migrate to a new regime by foregoing their existing exemptions and deductions for a lower tax rate

India's GDP growth is expected to slip to a decadal low of 5 per cent this fiscal, pressured by domestic factors like drop in consumption, as well as global issues

"We have not made up our minds as yet (on the removal of all exemptions)... We are trying step by step, move forward and no particular timeline given," she said
