Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is set to create a historical record by presenting her sixth consecutive Budget, surpassing her predecessors who presented five in a row. The upcoming interim Budget for 2024-25, due to the impending general elections, will be a vote-on-account authorizing the government to spend funds until a new government forms. Sitharaman has indicated that the interim Budget won’t include spectacular announcements but may address immediate fiscal needs. Her tenure has seen India navigating challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic, with various policy measures to support the economy.
