The focus of the budget remained on Infra and health sectors, while the highlight was no change in income tax slab. It was widely reported that the Finance Minister may make some changes in the income tax slabs to help the pandemic-hit common man, but it turned out mere speculation.

Earlier this month, Sitharaman had stated that the budget for the fiscal year beginning April will be “like never before”. This was also the first paperless budget in the history of Independent India. 

Nevertheless, as she presented her third budget a lot of things changed. Many items got costly while some were aided by the provisions made in the budget 2021 in their favour. Here are the items that got dearer or cheaper
