: Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee deserves accolades for presenting a pro-aam aadmi Budget that will be welcomed by all. The abolition of income tax surcharge would bring relief to high income earners. Interest subsidy on education loans is a good news for students who are keen to pursue higher education. Similarly, by abolishing the regressive FBT, the minister has got something for the corporate sector.
