India Union Budget 2019

In her maiden budget, the newly instated Finance Minister -  Ms. Nirmala Sitharaman, announced the first full budget of the Modi government 2.0 on 05 July 2019. The budget initiatives were aimed at building an inclusive India, reflecting the government’s focus to progressing to a digitally-forward, skilled, and sustainable nation. 

With accelerated development targeted for the next couple of years, to build a USD 05 trillion economy, the government has unleashed a slew of amendments to spur growth and investments.
