Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee marginally raised the Income-Tax exemption limit, abolished FBT and Commodity Tax and said his government is here to work for the benefit of the aam aadmi.
The Opposition blasted the Budget, most captains of the Indian industry cheered and the Sensex tanked a massive 870 points at close.
