Finance Minister Arun Jaitley chose the path of fiscal prudence by refraining from deferring the fiscal consolidation exercise by one more year even as the tax-GDP ratio is projected to stay unchanged at 10.8 in the current and next financial years.
At the same time, Jaitley also announced a committee to review the Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management (FRBM) Act to assess whether the targets could be adjusted to the needs of the economy.
