Union Minister Piyush Goyal Is Reading Out The Contents Of The Budget 2019 In Parliament. This Is The Last Interim Budget Of The NDA Government Led By Prime Minister Narendra Modi Before The Lok Sabha Elections Due By May. With The Lok Sabha Election Just Months Away, The Government Kept The Budget Focussed On Immediate Relief Such As Easing Income Tax Rules, Favourable Loan Terms For Small Businesses, Farm Loan Waiver And Even Direct Cash Transfers To Farmers Who Are Under Debt. The Government Said It Will Send Rs. 6,000 To Small Farmers Directly Into Their Bank Accounts In A Scheme That Will Be Funded 100 Per Cent By The Centre. The Programme Will Cost Rs. 75,000 Crore. Piyush Goyal's Turn To Reveal The Contents Of The Union Budget Briefcase In The Crucial National Election Year Came After Finance Minister Arun Jaitley Had To Go On Leave And Fly To The US For Treatment. Yesterday, The Government Said Its Estimate Of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Growth For Fiscal 2018 Was 7.2 Per Cent, Significantly Higher Than 6.7 Per Cent Earlier. The Railway Budget For 2019 Will Also Be Presented Today.
