Jaswant rules out interim budget for tax sops
Wednesday, July 10 2002 15:51 Hrs (IST)

New Delhi: Finance Minister Jaswant Singh on July 10 ruled out any interim budget to provide tax sops, but promised a "re-look" at the recent ordinance to deal with non- performing assets (NPA), saying government's intention was not "expropriatory".

"No, there will be no interim budget," Singh told reporters, setting at rest speculation that government might come out with tax sops in view of improved revenue collections and his utterances that he would put more money in the pockets of citizens.
