This Year’s Budget Shift

This year, the Union Budget has shifted its usual February slot to July. But why the change? Well, 2024 was an election year. To ensure a smooth transition for the newly elected Government, an Interim Budget was presented in February, outlining broad spending plans. Now, with the Government settled, we’re gearing up for the full Union Budget in July, which will delve deeper into economic policies and spending allocations for the upcoming fiscal year.

A Budgetary Legacy

Did you know the tradition of presenting a budget in India dates back a whopping 164 years? That’s right! In 1860, under British rule, a Scottish economist named James Wilson presented the first-ever budget in India. Fast forward to 1947, when independent India witnessed its first budget presented by R.K. Shanmukham Chetty, the then Finance Minister. Since then, the Union Budget has become a pivotal point in the Indian financial year, outlining the Government's plans for spending and revenue generation.

Budget Trivia Time!

Did you know that up until 1999, the budget was always presented at 5 pm? This was done to ensure the budget papers could be tabled in the British Parliament simultaneously!

What was the first item ever taxed in independent India? It was salt!

The tradition of presenting the budget on the last working day of February shifted to February 1st in 2017. This change was made to ensure smoother parliamentary approvals before the new financial year begins in April.

A Look Ahead

While the historical perspective is fascinating, the upcoming Union Budget 2024 is the one that truly impacts our present and future. As investors, staying informed about potential changes in taxation, Government spending plans, and sectoral allocations is crucial for making informed investment decisions.
