A Historic Milestone For Nirmala Sitharaman

This year’s presentation will be a significant milestone for Nirmala Sitharaman. She is now the first Finance Minister in India’s history to present eight consecutive Budgets, including seven annual budgets and one interim budget. Over her tenure, she has delivered more Budget speeches than prominent predecessors, including Manmohan Singh, Arun Jaitley, P. Chidambaram, and Morarji Desai.

Nirmala Sitharaman made history when she became India’s first female full-time Finance Minister. During her tenure, she has introduced landmark changes, including the simplified new tax regime in Budget 2020. In 2019, she also introduced a unique tradition by using a ‘bahi-khata’ (a traditional account book) to present the Budget instead of the customary leather briefcase, further adding to the ceremony’s significance.

In line with the ongoing digital transformation, the Union Budget has now gone fully paperless.

This move, initiated in 2021, signifies a shift toward transparency and sustainability in India’s financial practices. The digital format of the Budget presentation has allowed for greater accessibility, with documents and updates being made available to the public online.

What To Expect In Budget 2025

The Union Budget is one of the most important documents in India’s financial calendar, outlining the Government’s projected income, expenditures, and economic strategies for the coming year. Given the current challenges of slowing GDP growth, the 2025 Budget is expected to include reforms aimed at spurring economic activity, boosting public investment, and enhancing the ease of doing business in the country. Analysts are also speculating about potential tax revisions, including adjustments to personal income tax slabs and corporate taxes.

As the country looks to recover from the economic impacts of previous years, all eyes will be on Sitharaman’s speech, which is likely to shape India’s economic trajectory for the year ahead. The Union Budget 2025 is not just a statement of financial plans but a key indicator of how the Government intends to navigate challenges and position India on a path of sustainable growth.

With Nirmala Sitharaman preparing to deliver her eighth consecutive Union Budget, the stage is set for what promises to be a pivotal moment for India’s economy. Whether you're watching it live or following the updates, the Union Budget 2025 is sure to provide important insights into the nation’s financial future.
