The Union Budget, presented on July 23, has elicited reactions from all corners of the country and the world at large. In a recent interaction with India Today's Rahul Kanwal, FM Sitharaman answered questions on various aspects, including the much-discussed 'Middle-Class Issue.' She also addressed questions on taxes on long-term and short-term capital gains, as well as taxation on dividends. One question took a unique form when Vijay Kedia, an ace investor in the audience, chose to express his concern over 'double taxation' through a song.
