On the ease of doing business front, there could be enhanced focus on digitisation of customs compliance processes relating to submission of physical documents for adjudication and assessments. Submission of letters, documents could be made digital and measures such as API connectivity for uploading of data and customs duty payment could be introduced. Streamlining import and export paperwork and processes would also make retail supply chains more efficient, particularly in industries like electronics and luxury goods.

The rationale behind above would be to align the thresholds, exemption limit and tax rates with the inflation, and a revision would provide much-needed relief to a vast segment of the population. Budget 2025 should also boost government spending pushing employment generation and growth.
