Finance Ministry advances Budget preparation by over two months

18 Aug 2015 Evaluate

The Finance Ministry has advanced the time for Budget preparation by over two months. For the 2016-17 Budget and the process will begin this month instead of October. In a statement, Finance Ministry said that “In consonance with the objective of the Government of India to have wider consultations with various stakeholders as well as to provide more time for planners, it has been decided to start the Budget exercise by middle of August, 2015 for the forthcoming financial year 2016-17.”

The ministry added that the Budget circular, which marks the beginning of Budget formulation exercise, is being issued by the Budget Division. This is for the first time that the government is beginning Budget preparations process seven months ahead of presentation. The Union Budget is traditionally unveiled on the last working day of February.

It also announced the issuance of Budget Circular, which marks the beginning of the Budget formulation exercise. Last year, this circular was issued on October 10. Such a circular fixes the time line for various Ministries to furnish information to the Finance Ministry. It talks about methods to be followed for revenue and expenditure estimates.

The budget exercise, which normally starts during later part of October, involves consultations with several interest groups like industry, traders bodies and trade unions.  In addition, various government departments make expenditure proposals to the Finance Ministry. The budget for the next fiscal will be crucial and the finance ministry is apprehensive about the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission, which is likely to significantly increase the revenue expenditure of the government in the next fiscal, leaving it less money to spend on building capital assets.
