The government recently presented the Interim Union Budget for the financial year 2024-25 in Parliament. This marks the sixth budget under Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and the last one before the end of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s second term.

The full budget will come in July, once the new government forms after the Lok Sabha Elections. The budget focused on managing money, building things like roads and farms, growing renewable energy, and making trains better. However, there were no changes to how much tax people pay, which made some people who work for a salary unhappy.

The government aims to spend money carefully while making sure there’s enough for important things like schools and hospitals. The target for how much money the government will spend compared to how much it earns, called the fiscal deficit, is set at 5.1 percent of the money the country makes. Also, the plan for spending on things like building roads and schools is increased by 11.1 percent to ₹11.1 lakh crore.

Finance Minister Sitharaman said, “India has improved a lot in the last 10 years. In 2014, we faced many problems, but with everyone’s help, we overcame them.” She believes the next 5 years will bring big changes and wants India to become a developed country by 2047.

Experts think this budget meets their expectations. Pradeep Gupta from Anand Rathi Group said, “The government continues to focus on making India better by investing in things like roads, farms, and tourism. Keeping our spending in check also makes investors happy.”

Here are 14 key points from the Budget 2024:
