Budget Watch: Series 10

Some suggestions for the budget to promote the Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) sector that is vital for the equitable development of a country;

* ICT should be a priority sector & treated like an Industry.
* Tax holiday for at least 5 Years.
* Rs 1000 million venture capital as in 2001 budget.
* IT Park should be consider as EPZ and give incentive.
* Start ICT Incubator.
* Use RTDF in OLPC project in rural schools.
* Omit multiple taxation for single service like internet service.
