Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is presenting the general budget of 2021-22 in the Lok Sabha. Earlier, in the meeting of the Union Cabinet chaired by PM Modi, the budget of 2021-22 was approved. This is the first time that the 2021-22 budget has not been printed. It will be released in electronic format. The finance minister said in the beginning of his budget speech that the government announced Rs 27.1 lakh crore as a self-sufficient package to deal with the corona epidemic. According to tradition, the Finance Minister met the President at Rashtrapati Bhavan before going to Parliament.
Traditionally, copies of the budget are brought to the Parliament premises before the Finance Minister arrives, but this year, no documents have been printed due to the COVID-19 protocol. Instead, copies of the budget will be given electronically. Budget documents will be uploaded on the government website and a special app has also been created for this. Sitharaman, wearing an off-white and red colored silk sari, continued his tradition of carrying the budget speech as a bookkeeper. For this, he used a red colored purse bookkeeping.
