NEW DELHI: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present her record 8th straight Budget and all eyes will be on the much-expected tax relief for the middle class.
Sitharaman had in her first Budget in 2019 replaced the leather briefcase — which was in use for decades for carrying Budget documents — with a traditional ‘bahi-khata’ wrapped in red cloth. This year’s Budget would be in paperless form, as done in the last three years.
