India’s Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman reached the parliament on Friday to present the general budget 2019-20, officials said.
“The budget will be presented at 11:00 a.m. (local time) today,” a finance ministry official said. It will also be Sitharaman’s maiden Budget.
This will be the first budget of the Narendra Modi government in the second tenure.
The federal budget — the annual financial statement of a government — gives details about the revenue and expenditure, besides providing estimates about spending for the coming year.
