The Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee has indicated that the Union Budget may be presented around the middle of March. The exact dates would be decided in the first week of February after the meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs.
The change has been necessitated due to the ongoing Assembly elections. He further stated that the customary President's address to the Budget Session of Parliament can take place only after March 9 because of the model code of conduct being in force till the last day of the election process.
The FM said there was Constitutional sanctity to two dates -March 31, before which a vote on account should be taken so that there is no problem of withdrawal of money in the new financial year, and the 75 days deadline after presentation of taxation proposals to pass the Finance Bill.
