🚨 Tax-free status of Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGB) has been removed in #Budget2026.

➡️ If you bought SGBs from the secondary market (through brokers like Zerodha, Groww etc.), you will have to pay capital gains tax, even if holding till maturity.

➡️ If you bought directly from the RBI, during the original subscription period & hold till maturity, then only it will remain tax-free.

SGB is a massive headache for Govt, looks like they're trying to reduce their losses. #Economy #Policy

India is going through a very severe crisis of unskilled and semi-skilled labour shortage.

And its not because of low birth rates or that's everyone's suddenly rich.

Massive infusion of freebies to lower rung of society has made everyone lazy, why should anyone work if they're getting 10-15k a month from multiple parallel govt freebie schemes?

If this keeps going on, illegal Bangladeshis will capture all labour work in the country, like they have already captured construction in Mumbai. #Jobs #Policy
