As Finance Minister P Chidambaram unveiled the Union Budget for 2007-2008, here's a list of things that will now be affordable. Also presenting things on which you might feel some real pinch:
Food mixes, biscuits, mouth freshener, footwear, water purifiers and filters, umbrellas, and low value cement would become cheaper while cigarettes, beedis, aircraft for personal use and set top boxes will be costlier as a result of Budget proposals for 2007-08.
Announcing a series of changes, Finance Minister P Chidambaram once again focused on tobacco and tobacco products to raise resources by increasing taxes, while exempting all kind of food mixes from excise duties, saying he should no longer be accused for bias for Idly-Dosa mixes.
Imported pet food and umbrellas would become cheaper as a result of reduction in customs and excise duties, while beedis (Indian cigar) would become expensive with the minister raising the excise duties on beedis made with the aid of machines and without the aid of machines.
