Union Budget 2018-19 to be presented by FM Arun Jaitley in Parliament; 1st budget after GST roll-out

The Budget 2018 will be presented today by the Finance Minister Arun Jaitley. For the first time, Railway Budget will be a part of the Union Budget. This is NDA alliance's fifth budget and arguably the toughest as the Centre seeks to address Agriculture distress, create Jobs and boost Economic Growth while at the same time stick to Fiscal prudence. There are a lot of expectation that common man may get some relief in Income Tax (I-T) by way of a rise in the exemption limit. The Union Budget 2018-2019 will also be the first budget post implementation of Independent India's biggest tax reform of Goods and Services Tax (GST).
