Our annual "Post-Budget Talk" of the Union Budget
2025-26 was held virtually. The event brought together a distinguished
panel of speakers who provided valuable insights on the budget’s impact on the
economy, businesses, and individuals.
We were honored to have Mr.Homi P. Ranina, a renowned Tax
Expert and Senior Lawyer at the Supreme Court of India, as our keynote speaker.
Mr. Ranina's insightful address explored the budget proposals in-depth,
highlighting their potential effects on various sectors, with a particular focus
on their implications for taxation and economic growth. His expertise set the
stage for a comprehensive analysis of the budget, offering attendees a nuanced
understanding of the proposed changes.
Following Mr. Ranina’s address, the discussion was enriched by Mr.Brijesh
Kothary, Partner(indirect tax) and Mr.Chitrartha Gupta-Sr.Associate from
Khaitan & Co., who shared their expertise on the budget’s indirect
tax proposals. Their session examined the key aspects of the budget’s
provisions related to GST and other indirect taxes, explaining how these
changes will shape the business landscape moving forward. Their valuable
insights helped attendees navigate the complexities of indirect taxation and
