This is the fourth budget of the Finance Minister
The fourth budget of the Finance Minister is as important as the first budget he presented after the Kovid-19 pandemic. Perhaps this becomes more important considering the new variant of Kovid-19. She has been the main face of the government for its economic response during the pandemic and economic slowdown. He announced programs like poor welfare and self-reliant India. Sitharaman has promised that a budget like the upcoming budget would not have come yet.
Sitharaman presented the first budget in July 2019
Every budget has been very challenging for Nirmala Sitharaman. He presented his first budget in July 2019, within two months of that, he had to announce a reduction in corporate tax in view of the crisis on the economy. Corona dominated the general budget of 2020 and 2021. Along with bringing the economy back on track, the government had to announce a relief package with many announcements. Also, special provisions had to be made in the budget to improve the health sector infrastructure.
