Employment Generation Has To Be The Core Area Of Any Reforms Push
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitaraman is in an unenvious position as she gives finishing touches to general budget 2022 to be presented to Parliament on February one becausethere appears to be no easy solutions to manifold conflicting issues. At this juncture reigningin on macro-economic fundamentals are equally important as efforts to kick-start theeconomy with visible signs of growth revival after the covid pandemic.Economists are divided on whether to move towards fiscal consolidation are allow fiscaldeficit to slip for one more year to push expenditure particularly capital to reverse saggingdemand coupled with supply constraints. Former RBI governor D Subbarao is right when hesays though there is a case for some slippages in fiscal deficit to encourage capitalexpenditure, Indian economy is not in that position to leverage this possibility. Fiscalconsolidation is therefore important and efforts should be to bring down fiscal deficit from 6.8per cent of GDP this year to close to 6 per cent so that the government sticks to the mediumterm target of bringing it down to 4.5 per cent of GDP by 2024-25. This is important as Indiadoes not have the luxury to allow any further slippages in fiscal deficit because debt-to-GDPis very high at close to 90 per cent. It is not alarming at the moment but this is time toexercise some caution. Inflation too has started looking up giving that much less headroomfor RBI to continue with accommodative monetary policy for long.Former Planning commission deputy chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia is however of theview a little fiscal profligacy temporarily to find resources for employment generating capitalexpenditure would be welcome to put the economy back on track.Economist Arun Kumar feels job creation should get top most priority particularly in theinformal sector as they account for bulk of the employment potential. In India 99 per cent ofthe six lakh odd MSMEs in the country are micro industries and a little over 97 per cent ofthe employment in MSMEs are in micro industries. After farming, bulk of the employment inthe informal sector came from micro industries in the country. Micro industries have beenbadly hit, more so after the Pandemic and hence resulted in heavy loss of jobs. In fact microindustries woes started soon after demonetization in 2016 as they are mostly in casheconomy. Covid and lockdown worsened it. Government should find ways to revive thissector particularly through handholding. These industries are now severely cash strappedbesides marketing problems. Revival of this micro sector speedily will revive incomegeneration and thereby give much needed push to demand. Instead of giving people fish byway of income support it is better to teach them how to fish by helping micro sector and jobcreation. There is also a view among some economists to have urban employment scheme like theMNREGA for rural employment to provide temporary succor to urban poor who have lostjobs during covid. This is a good idea but Subbarao is against it for two reasons. Findingmoney for it would be difficult in this tight fiscal situation as urban wages are much morebesides there will be unintended consequences of encouraging large scale rural to urban migration which would be more grave especially at this juncture. Better thing would be tostrengthen and allocate more for MNREGA programme to step up rural income.Since the fiscal situation is tight there is need for stepping up revenue generation particularlyfrom tax. As it is tax-GDP ratio is very low in India with 97 per cent of the population out ofthe tax net. It is worthwhile to consider innovative ways of increasing revenue generation.There is a hue and cry from salaried class and middle class for more income tax sops asthey had been hit by loss of income, higher medical expenditure and so on. The corporateswere provided tax cuts two years ago to encourage them to invest more but that did nothappen as they already had excess capacity which is still continuing and new investmentare therefore not forthcoming. So there profits have swelled. Sitharaman could thereforeconsider levying some sort of covid cess on corporates to mop up revenue temporarily whilekeeping the rates at the present level so that they contribute some additional revenue foreconomic revival if they are not making fresh investments. It is also time to consideragriculture income tax from rich farmers. This is a long debated issue and would requirelegislative - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara measures as well as it is a state.

The Economic Survey 2021-22 notes that supply chain disruptions and slow economic growth have contributed to an increase in inflation. The withdrawal of stimulus in developed economies
