The Union Budget is an annual financial statement presented under Article 112 of the Constitution of India. It outlines the government's estimated receipts and expenditure for the upcoming financial year. The budget also announces key policy decisions, tax changes, reforms, and spending priorities across sectors such as infrastructure, health, education and welfare.
Budget 2026 is especially significant as it will be the second full budget of the Modi government's third term, following the interim budget of 2024 and the full budget of 2025.
On Thursday (January 29), the Economic Survey was presented by FM Sitharaman in the Parliament. It projected India's GDP growth for 2026-27 in the range of 6.8 to 7.2 per cent, slightly lower than the 7.4 per cent estimated for the current financial year.
