The 2017/18 budget comes less than three months after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's bold and risky gamble to outlaw high-value old currency bills, which has slammed the brakes on Asia's third-largest economy and hit the poor particularly hard. 

According to one survey, a third of people say their incomes have fallen, with nearly a tenth saying they are much worse off. Judging how quickly the economy will recover is a tough call, making Jaitley's revenue projections a shot in the dark. A delay in the launch of a new national sales tax has added to the uncertainty. The Goods and Services tax (GST) is expected to improve tax compliance and check evasion, but the union and state governments have yet to work out its details.
