Stakeholders Urge Funding and Structural Reforms Ahead of Union Budget 2026-27

Ahead of the Union Budget 2026-27, stakeholders highlight critical areas needing attention. The Social Security Code's provision for gig workers lacks funding, risking legal and economic challenges if unaddressed. Financial regulators like SEBI require enhanced budgets for digital market oversight. Meanwhile, banks and NBFCs urge structural reforms to tackle deposit growth lagging behind credit demand, stressing incentives to boost household savings and improve credit flow to MSMEs and agriculture sectors. These issues underscore calls for targeted fiscal measures in the upcoming budget.
