The budget 2017-18 is going to be unique in many aspects. For the very first time the Railway Budget will be merged with the General Union Budget. Also the Union Budget will be presented one month in advance on 1st February, 2017.
Government of India on Tuesday finally announced that Union Budget will now be presented on 1 February, in order to depart from old-era tradition of presenting Union Budget on last working day of February. The announcement has come a day before the beginning of the month-long Winter Session of Parliament, to be held from 16 November to 16 December.
In layman’s term, the union budget presents an estimate of revenue and expenditure of the country in the forthcoming financial year that begins on the 1st of April and ends on 31st March.
Making a strong appeal to different political parties to let the Union Budget for 2017-18 be presented to Parliament on February 1, the apex industry chamber ASSOCHAM today said the advancement to this effect would help the government to begin its capital and other expenditure right from April and revive the much needed economic growth.
The Central Government earmarked close to Rs 20 lakh crore on the expenditure head of the Budget for 2016-17. It would be safe to assume that for the financial year 2017-18, the total expenditure to be allocated by Finance Minister Mr Arun Jaitley would be between Rs 22 lakh crore and Rs 23 lakh crore. This would be about 14 per cent of India’s Gross Domestic Product at current prices.
Yes. Its that time of the year again when the common man, the salaried person looks out to what’s in store for them – concessions, rebates. The Union Budget for the next fiscal shall be announced early this year on February 1, 2017 and the common man awaits.
Since common man is directly affected by the income tax provisions every budget raises expectation levels of common man on this front. What the common man is expecting from finance minister this time?
Hon’ble President Shri. Pranab Mukerjee has called Meet of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha on 31.01.2017 to Facilitate Presentation of Union Budget 2017 on 01.02.2017 but seeing the protest of opposition political parties, the question is will government present the Budget on 01.02.2017 or it will present after the elections in 5 States.
