Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee presented Budget 2011-12 in Parliament on Monday promising to stimulate growth and bring down inflation. Admitting that food inflation remains a matter of concern, Pranab said that the economy could have performed better. He said that the development needs to be more inclusive while announcing increased outlay on social sector schemes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Total food inflation is down from 20.2 per cent last year to 9.3 per cent in January. But it is still a matter of concern,&amp;quot; said the Finance Minister. He said that the gap between retail prices and wholesale prices was unacceptable. &amp;quot;Government&#039;s principle concern is high food prices. Food prices were high for cereals as there was a spurt in prices of onions and milk,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;

Admitting that food inflation remains a matter of concern, Pranab said that the economy could have performed better. He said that the development needs to be more inclusive while announcing increased outlay on social sector schemes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Total food inflation is down from 20.2 per cent last year to 9.3 per cent in January. But it is still a matter of concern,&amp;quot; said the Finance Minister. He said that the gap between retail prices and wholesale prices was unacceptable. &amp;quot;Government&#039;s principle concern is high food prices. Food prices were high for cereals as there was a spurt in prices of onions and milk,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Corruption is a problem. We have to fight it collectively,&amp;quot; he said while referring to the numerous corruption scandals that have to come to light in recent months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;The agriculture growth is at 5.4 per cent in Financial Year 2011. I see Budget 2011-12 as transition towards more transparent and result-oriented economic management,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Announcing that steps are being taken to simplify tax procedures, he hoped that introduction of Direct Tax Code (DTC), Goods and Services Tax (GST) will improve compliance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;We will introduce Goods and Services Tax Bill in current Parliament session,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Direct Tax Code Bill is likely to be passed by Parliament in next financial year after getting the Standing Committee report.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Government will also move towards direct cash transfer of cash&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;subsidy as regards kerosene, LPG and fertilisers from March 2012 in view of large diversion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Latest updates:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Growth in 2010 has been broad based&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fiscal consolidation has been impressive&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Food inflation still remains a concern&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have to ensure more stable macro economic environment&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Need to improve supply response in agri sector&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Budget is a transition towards transparent economy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Economy back to pre crisis growth trajectory&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FY12 budget to be a transition towards more transparent administration&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do not forsee resources being a major constrain in medium-term&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Corruption is a problem;

Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee presented Budget 2011-12 in Parliament on Monday promising to stimulate growth and bring down inflation. Admitting that food inflation remains a matter of concern, Pranab said that the economy could have performed better.

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Total food inflation is down from 20.2 per cent last year to 9.3 per cent in January. But it is still a matter of concern,&amp;quot; said the Finance Minister. He said that the gap between retail prices and wholesale prices was unacceptable. &amp;quot;Government&#039;s principle concern is high food prices.
