Defence Minister Arun Jaitley said on Saturday the country's forces are capable of responding to ceasefire violations along the Line of Control by Pakistan.
Jaitley said the Budget proposals would boost the realty sector, which would help meet the housing needs of a vast section of the population.
Many private economists consider the deficit target optimistic, citing weak tax receipts in a sluggish economy and high federal expenditure commitments.
These have to be passed in this session to meet the September 15 deadline for switching over to the new indirect tax regime, Jaitley said.
There is nothing wrong with government and RBI having conflicting opinions.
About 15 per cent of the country's total GDP comes from agriculture.
'On the tax front, most of the Budget proposals are sensible'.
