INTERIM UNION BUDGET 2019-20

Our 23rd Year of Budget Review

General elections being around the corner, the Government could not present the full

fledged Budget. The Interim Budget was presented by Shri Piyush Goyal in the

capacity of acting Finance Minister due to ill health of Shri Arun Jaitley. In such

capacity, he also became the first Chartered Accountant to have presented the Union

Budget. It was a short and brief Budget highlighting government’s achievements in the

past four years and a vision outline for the coming period. The Budget has some good

features in form of tax exemption and measures to boost economy with emphasizes

on rural and poor.

With regards,
