Finance Minister Reaches Parliament For Her 7th Budget

Before presenting her 7th consecutive budget, the finance minister visited president Draupadi Murmu who fed her 'dahi cheeni'. This year's budget presentation replaces the iconic 'bahikhata' of the finance minister with a tablet, highlighting the Modi government's focus on digital growth. 
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present her seventh consecutive Budget today - Tuesday, July 23. The Budget for 2024-25 is being considered the action plan for the Modi 3.0 government to outline a roadmap towards India's development in the next five years.
In her 7th record Union Budget, Nirmala Sitharaman is expected to announce an increase in the basic exemption limits under both old and new tax regimes in a huge relief for the middle class. 
Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday had said that the Finance Minister will present a strong budget, adding that he will ensure that the government's guarantees reach the common man. Nirmala Sitharaman yesterday - on the first day of the Monsoon Session of Parliament - tabled the Economic Survey in Parliament.
