India Budget 2008 : Impact on IT Professionals, IT Corporates and IT Industry

Mr. Chidambaram and the Finance Ministry in Delhi must be working round the clock
to unveil the Budget for the year 2008-2009. At ITVidya.com, our team is working round the clock too to bring out how the budget will impact us all in the IT Industry.

We asked ourselves and a few of our members on what they would like to see, and the following questions emerged.

Will it be a populist budget considering general elections next year ?

Will it be a inclusive budget or favour the elite only ?

Will the career prospects brighten for IT Professionals ?

Will there be a relief in tax or a further burden ?

How will the stock markets react, and will IT sector stocks skyrocket, nosedive or will have a moderate effect only ?

How will it impact NRI friends working in Software Industry abroad ? Will they be tempted to return back home ?

Will students get better offers on loan ?

Our technology and content team and some of our supportive members will try our best to get all the important answers , dissect and understand the budget from the perspective of the IT Industry.

Please await further announcements and feel free to post your questions if any at budget@itvidya.com

And yes, keep your reactions ready and share it freely with our members. If you have experts in your network, please do get their reactions and be heard on our platform.
