What are the budget as well as the structure of the Indian Budget?
"Budget" Any middle-class person hearing the word "budget" will remember the balance sheet of household expenses and income as planning to control the expenditure in proportion to our income and income can be called budget. In India, the Union Finance of India, budget is announced by the Parliament House on the first of February. The budget is also referred to as Article 112 Annual Financial Statement of the Indian Constitution. The reason behind announcing this budget on February 1 is that before the new financial year starts in India on April 1, it should be written with amendments and full time that can be implemented by a majority in the Lok Sabha. Until 2016, however, the annual budget was presented by the Finance Minister of India on the last day of February.
Often an interim budget is presented in the year in which the election is planned. This budget is like a temporary budget which has been prepared keeping in view every aspect just like the full budget but it is passed by vote-on-account by majority of the members till the Lok Sabha election. Although the Interim Budget has full provisions, it does not include any major decisions related to taxes or the passage of the Interim Budget. The last interim budget in the year 2019 was passed by the then Finance Minister Piyush Goyal in this manner. A total of 74 annual budgets as well as 14 interim budgets and 4 special budgets or mini budgets have been passed since India's independence. A total of 92 budgets have been given to India by our 28 different finance ministers in which independent India has today embarked on a journey from underdeveloped to developing.
Who presented India's first budget after independence and who has presented the highest budget ever?
After India became independent, the country also needed a strong economic constitution for which the first Union Budget of India was presented by Late Shri. R. K. Shanmukham Chetty on 26 November 1947. The country had a deposit of Rs 171.15 crore and a fiscal deficit of Rs 24.59 crore against a provision of Rs 197.29 crore. Even then, our defense budget was 92.74 crore, or can say 47%.
As the Finance Minister for India, Morarji Desai has presented the Union Budget a maximum of 10 times. The budget was presented 9 times by Chidambaram and 8 times by Pranab Mukherjee. This was followed by 7-7 budgets presented by Yashwant Sinha, Yashwantrao Chauhan and C.D. Deshmukh while 6 budgets were presented by Manmohan Singh and T.T. Krishnamachari. Our current Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is the 28th Minister of India. She held the post on May 30, 2019, after which she presented the 4th Union Budget.
