The budget introduced a new tax regime offering lower tax rates for those willing to forgo exemptions. The budget also set the stage for the &#8216;Make in India&#8217; initiative by reducing corporate taxes. This budget placed a strong emphasis on strengthening rural infrastructure, supporting farmers, and promoting affordable housing. Sitharaman departed from tradition by presenting the budget in a &#8216;bahi khata&#8217; instead of a briefcase.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Second_Budget_2020-2021\"><\/span><strong>Second Budget (2020-2021)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Date: February 1, 2020<\/p>\n<p>This was Nirmala Sitharaman\u2019s longest budget speech which lasted for two hours and forty minutes. The three prominent themes of the Budget were Aspirational India &#8211; better standards of living with access to health, education and better jobs for all sections of the society, Economic Development for all &#8211; &#8220;Sabka Saath , Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas&#8221;, and Caring Society &#8211; both humane and compassionate.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Third_Budget_2021-2022\"><\/span><strong>Third Budget (2021-2022)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Date: February 1, 2021<\/p>\n<p>This was India&#8217;s first paperless budget, reflecting the digital push of the government. It proposed significant hikes in capital expenditure, particularly for infrastructure, and introduced the National Monetisation Pipeline. The focus was on healthcare post-COVID-19, digital economy, and tax relief for middle-income groups.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fourth_Budget_2022-2023\"><\/span><strong>Fourth Budget (2022-2023)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Date: February 1, 2022<\/p>\n<p>India&#8217;s economic growth in the current year was estimated to be 9.2 per cent, highest among all large economies. Tax policies remained focused on simplification, with some rationalization of customs duties to encourage domestic manufacturing in emerging sectors such as electronics. There was also an increased focus on sustainability through measures promoting clean energy, electric vehicles, and natural farming.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fifth_Budget_2023-2024\"><\/span><strong>Fifth Budget (2023-2024)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Date: February 1, 2023<\/p>\n<p>By 2023, the government sought to balance post-pandemic recovery with fiscal prudence. Sitharaman emphasized growth through capital expenditure, unveiling a substantial increase in the outlay for infrastructure, including roads, railways, and renewable energy. Another highlight was an ongoing push for &#8220;Make in India&#8221; and &#8220;Atmanirbhar Bharat&#8221; by offering production-linked incentives (PLIs) to various manufacturing sectors. Small businesses and startups received supportive measures, such as simplified compliance norms and extended tax benefits.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sixth_Budget_2024\"><\/span><strong>Sixth Budget (2024) <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Date: February 1, 2024<\/p>\n<p>Being an election year, this was an interim budget, which is traditionally a vote-on-account rather than a full budget. No changes relating to taxation were proposed in the Interim Budget. However, to provide continuity in taxation, certain tax benefits to Start-Ups and investments made by sovereign wealth or pension funds as also tax exemptions on certain income of some IFC units were extended by one year up to March 31, 2025.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Seventh_Budget_2024-2025\"><\/span><strong>Seventh Budget (2024-2025)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Date: July 23, 2024<\/p>\n<p>Sitharaman&#8217;s seventh budget speech highlighted nine priorities for &#8216;Viksit Bharat&#8217;, focusing on areas like agriculture, employment and skilling, urban development, energy security, infrastructure, innovation, and next generation reforms. It extended tax benefits under the new tax regime, introduced measures for women&#8217;s empowerment, and provided a significant boost to the tourism sector.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eight_Budget_2025-2026\"><\/span><strong>Eight Budget (2025-2026)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Date: February 1, 2025<\/p>\n<p>Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present the Union Budget 2025 on Saturday, February 1, 2025.
