Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has arrived at the Parliament to present Union Budget for 2025. In a change from tradition, she will read out the budget using a tablet instead of the usual "bahi khata" (a physical ledger). This marks a shift towards using technology for important government tasks. The presentation will take place in Parliament, where the budget details will be shared with the public and lawmakers. The budget outlines the government’s financial plans for the upcoming year, including proposals for development, taxation, and public spending aimed at boosting the country`s economy. President Droupadi Murmu feeds Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman the customary `dahi-cheeni` (curd and sugar) ahead of her Budget presentation.
