00:00So, the budget is about to be presented and we are with a family in Delhi, the capital of the country.
00:05Welcome to One India, Mr. Erum.
00:08So, the budget is about to be presented and you are a homemaker and a wife as well.
00:13So, what are your expectations? What do you want from Mr. Nirmala?
00:16What can be special about this budget?
00:19See, I think my expectation and the expectation of an average Indian housewife would be
00:25that we can take the best of both worlds somehow.
00:29Because there is inflation, there is a lot of inflation, oil is expensive, lentils are expensive,
00:35our basic needs, seasonal vegetables, even in the peak season, they are not very cheap.
00:44So, somewhere or the other, the taste of carrot halwa is less.
00:49So, as we were seeing, Mr. Erum was making tea.
00:52So, we remember that during college, we used to get tea for Rs. 5 and now it has gone straight to Rs. 15 and Rs. 20.
00:59So, let's start with the tea. What do you want to say about tea?
01:03I want to say that the rate of milk is continuously increasing.
01:09The tea leaves have become very expensive now.
01:13And this is such an expense that for Indians, tea is tea at all times.
01:18So, this is not something that we can reduce or if we don't drink it, it won't make a difference.
01:26This is a very basic thing.
01:28And I think from the lower income group to the upper, tea is very expensive in India.
01:33So, milk is expensive, tea leaves are expensive, sugar is also expensive.
01:38The Indian middle class is a little sad and our expectation is that if there is a little reduction in inflation,
01:45or if there is something in our budget that is our basic necessities,
01:50then it will be good for everyone.
01:56Everyone will be happy with such a budget.
01:58So, if I ask you what are the things in the kitchen that you think should be cheap,
02:03or some things that will be expensive in the kitchen, then it will work.
02:08But tell me 2-3 things that should be absolutely cheap.
02:13See, I think, what do you eat in a basic day?
02:17So, lentils, spices, oil, the basic needs of roti, sabzi, dal, rice, the things that are used in this,
02:25I think if there is a little reduction in these things, it will be a little easier for the Indian middle class.
02:32So, if we talk about future savings, what should we save?
02:36If we talk about gold or money, what is the best saving option for you?
02:41Because earlier it was only FDs, now people are not doing as much fixed deposit as mutual funds.
02:46So, I think every place should save a little.
02:49And the biggest thing that a granny saves cash,
02:53that has been going on since the time of our grandparents,
02:57it is still there and it will continue to be there.
03:00It is an Indian invention, which is called Aadavakt.
03:07So, it is very important for you to have that money in it.
03:11Yes, this is the budget, so let me say this quickly,
03:14if there is a little relief in the tax, especially for females,
03:19then maybe our disposable income will increase and we can save a little more.
03:24Thank you, Erum ji, for talking to One India.
03:27So, you saw what are the expectations of a housewife from this budget.
03:32Because the budget of the house is handled by the housewife.
03:35She knows how to handle the budget of the house.
03:39Representing women, we hope that the finance minister will take a stand on all these things.
03:47And in the coming budget, we will all be able to see what the expectations of a housewife are.
