The Budget Interviews

'India needs a crisis to reform. We cannot reform without a crisis'
"The economy is recovering and this in turn will itself mean more revenue for the government. So the government is not under pressure to raise taxes and I think raising taxes will be a big mistake," says Dr Subir Gokarn, chief economist, the National Council for Applied Economic Research.




'Budget is expected to create greater lending opportunities for banks'
"I expect a reduction in the surcharge on the corporate tax, tax on agricultural income and measures to induce increased savings and investments. All this would mean revitalisation of the corporate sector," says K P Padmakumar, chairman, Federal Bank and Private Sector Banks' Association.
