It is true that the IT industry had many hopes for the Union Budget 2016-17, and many in the industry have found it lacking, however, there are still numerous aspects of it worth talking about, as they will greatly affect the information technology industry.

This time period encompasses April, 2016 to March, 2019. MAT will apply during this three year period, however this may have a limited impact.
