Budget 2022: On Tuesday, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present a completely paperless budget.

According to the Ministry of Finance, due to corona infection, the employees involved in the budget-making will be given sweets instead of halwa(pudding).

After the presentation of the budget in the Parliament, the entire budget will be available on the mobile app called Union Budget. This app can be downloaded by visiting the Union Budget site or the Finance Ministry site. This app will be available in Hindi as well as in English. The app will be available on both Android and iOS platforms.
