Tweeple have a field day on Jaitley's Budget announcements

Wisecracks were bandied around about IRCTC's listing, revised income tax slabs

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley presented the Union Budget for FY18 on Wednesday. The Budget gave relief to the salaried group on personal income tax front by halving the tax to five per cent for those whose income is below Rs 5 lakh to ease the pains of demonetisation. The Budget also proposed that all political donations above Rs 2,000 can only be made by cheque or digital means. Amidst all this fiscal prudence and political transparency, the Tweeple had a fun time tweeting about Jaitley's Budget. 
 

Business Standard brings you the best of them :

 

The budget is transformative:
It transforms taxes into election campaigns.
Everyone into economists.
And CAs into Gods.#Budget2017

IRCTC will be listed on stock exchanges, but it will take you 95 minutes and sixteen failed transactions to buy one share.
