The Interim Budget 2024:

The Interim Budget 2024 is set to be presented in the Parliament by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on February 1. Leading up to the event, Minister Sitharaman mentioned that significant announcements are unlikely in this budget. It’s worth noting that the Economic Survey was not presented today, as this budget is not a full budget.

As 2024 marks a Lok Sabha election year, the upcoming budget will solely serve as a vote-on-account. The comprehensive budget is anticipated post the polls, with the new government expected to form around June. The final budget for 2024-25 is likely to be introduced sometime in July.
