Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is the sixth minister in independent India to present five consecutive budgets, joining a select league of legends likes of Manmohan Singh, Arun Jaitley and P Chidambaram
As per established tradition, the Finance Minister met the President at the Rashtrapati Bhawan before heading to Parliament to present the Union Budget. This is the fifth budget presentation by Sitharaman. PM Modi will chair a cabinet meeting at 10 am before the Budget is tabled in Parliament
Union Budget 2023 will be the last full-fledged Union Budget of Modi government before the 2024 Lok Sabha poll. Union Finance Minister Sitharaman will present the Union Budget for 2023-24 with a digital device instead of the traditional 'bahi-khata' in her hands
Known for her love for Indian textiles, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman arrived in Parliament for the Union Budget presentation wearing a traditional temple border saree on Wednesday. Temple sarees are usually made of cotton, silk or a mix and worn for special occasions Pic/Pallav Paliwal
On the first day of the budget session of Parliament, Sitharaman on Tuesday tabled the pre-budget Economic Survey for 2022-23, which projected an 6-6.8 per cent growth for the economy in the coming financial year Pic/Pallav Paliwal
