Union Budget Changes: About three weeks are left for the presentation of the general budget for the financial year 2023. This will be the fifth budget to be presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.
This will be the last full budget of the government before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. That’s why the government’s effort is also to please everyone from the salaried class to the farmers. On the other hand, every section is pinning a lot of hopes on the Modi government. In the last few years, the Modi government has made many changes regarding the budget. A change in that was made by the government keeping in mind the tax payers. But even today the situation regarding it is not clear among many people.
