3) On Policy regarding taxation: Finance Minister also said that "India should have a tax on company profits that is more consistently applied than it is now and should bring down its effective rate to global levels.

The new insurance schemes launched by the government have reached 7.5 crore people in a few weeks. The insurance schemes will bring the benefits of insurance to the common man."
9) On Fiscal Deficit: We have improved the fiscal deficit target. Infact we have overachieved the target. Current account deficit, foreign exchange reserve, growth reserves, and the recent revenue figures which have come, show a lot of improvement.
