IPhone will be more costlier??

Am not sure about this too...

It says that imported electronic products are going to be costlier... But, on the other hand, mobile phones are slated to be cheaper!!!
Seems like a double contradiction to me...

Anyone can clear this up???

So, does it mean that only crappy Indian made electronics (Are there any??? :p) are going to be cheaper???

TV's everything are imported If i am not wrong so basically these become cheaper
Imported goods like-PS4 etc will become more expensive

LED TVs with panel less than 19 inches (basic custom duty on import of panel made nil)

do people even buy led tv's less than 19 inches ?

Monitors are different but TV less than 19 inch really ? could be small shopkeepers buying those led's , not a mainstream product i could be wrong though

Sounds like BS to me to gain headlines

mobile phones are made in india too. ;) iphones prices should also increase unless apple thinks to make one from india.

So, does it mean that only crappy Indian made electronics (Are there any??? :p) are going to be cheaper???

i think this is what going to happen! i dont like to explicitly call crappy though.
desktop component prices is likely to increase.

‰ This is the extract from FM's speech

Exempt all inputs/components used in the
manufacture of personal computers from 4
percent special additional duty (SAD);
•Impose education cess on imported electronic
products to provide parity between domestically
produced goods and imported goods;

So this means prices of computer components will come down right?
One of the news channels said computer ke purjo ke daam kam honge
Also are there any computer parts being produced in India?

So all laptops will become costly. I don't think there exists a desi laptop manufacturer.

I don't think it's a very good budget. It's too confusing. Will have to wait for a couple of months to see what goes up and what goes down.

I am liking the budget so far. Many concessions have been done keeping it mind for the middle class families and for those who want to start up new business.

guys the prices of computer products will fall down

I heard it on a news channel...they clearly said the import taxes on computer parts will be lowered and this will mean reduced prices
