India is set for a paperless Budget 2021. FM carries a tablet to parliament.
Union Minister for Finance Nirmala Sitharaman whispers “Tablet is Made In India” Tablet is a mini computer. The traditional suitcase budget is gone. Now the Finance Minister has posed with a tablet having the details of the Union Budget.
The FM will read out the budget from 11 AM in the parliament. After a break of an hour she will also announce it in the Rajyasabha. She will not read it in detail in the RS.
It will be the 9th Budget of the Modi Government. The Cabinet will meet ahead of the budget presentation at about 10.15 and approve the Budget. Prime Minister Modi will Chair the Cabinet meet.
When it comes to IT, very less is expected and there might be no change in the existing slabs.
The FM will meet President Kovind before going for the Budget presentation. Agriculture, Education and Health sectors will definitely get a boost this time.
