The Modi government is preparing to present the first budget of its new term. This is the first budget of the government's third term. Let us tell you that this year the government is presenting the budget for the second time. Earlier, the government had presented the interim budget in February.

At present, Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary said that the first Union Budget of the third term of the Modi government will be based on his mantra of 'Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas'. In such a situation, it remains to be seen how special this time's budget will be.
