Considering the tough times being faced by engineering exporters in the wake of the slowdown in key markets, the government may put cash in the hands of businesses especially MSMEs by way of tax exemption and lower rates in the upcoming Budget, said EEPC India Chairman Mr. Arun Kumar Garodia on expectations from Budget. He said that the support under the Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme (ECLGS) in the wake of the Covid pandemic was essentially loans and hence a liability that has to be repaid. "In such a situation, more tax exemption or lower taxation can put more money into the hands of the MSMEs to service their liabilities and for technical upgradation," said Mr. Garodia.

However, travel for a Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patient should be weighed carefully, given its health impact. Although, there is no evidence to prove the added risks of increased severity and mechanisms of the disease in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients. It still needs to cancel the possibility of them being at a high vulnerability of breakout on long tours and travel plans.  Be it a trip for holidays, vacations, family reunions, exploring, or business purposes, travelling long-distance or for long hours should be a fun-filled experience for dialysis patients.
