"Reducing corporate Tax!!!Will it reduce common man burden also or Richer will get richer?? Definitely will reduce corporate Burden," wrote another.

With the latest announcement, Sensex and Nifty logged their biggest ever single day gains on Friday.

"Despite all the trolls and memes on FM @nsitharaman in last few weeks, there is a strong possibility history will remember her fondly for the reforms announced today #corporatetaxcut," posted another user.

"Just after FM press conference sensex be like #CorporateTax, Aur mai aasmaan ki uchaiyon mai," Twitted a user with the famous paragliding meme that has been trending since a few weeks.
