Modi 3.0 Govt’s 1st Budget to be Presented by FM Nirmala Sitharaman Today

New Delhi: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present her seventh Union Budget in Parliament on Tuesday. With it she breaks the record of late Moraji Desai, who presented six consecutive Union budgets.

She is expected to start the presentation of the Union budget for 2024-25 at 11 am. It will be the first budget of the Modi 3.0 government. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday again took a digital tablet wrapped in a traditional ‘bahi-khata’ style pouch as she headed for Parliament to present the full Budget 2024-25 in a paperless format just like the previous years. Draped in a white silk saree with magenta border, she posed for the traditional ‘briefcase’ picture outside her office, along with her team of officials, before heading to meet the President.

After presenting the Budget, Finance Minister Sitharaman will address a press conference along with the Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary, Finance Secretary T.V. Somanathan, Secretaries of Ministry of Finance and Chief Economic Adviser V. Anantha Nageswaran to the government on Tuesday afternoon.
