New Delhi : Shortly from now, Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitely will present NDA government?s third general budget which was accorded formal approval by the cabinet today. If the signals emanating from Economic Survey 2015-16 which was tabled in Parliament on February 26 are anything to go by, it appears that in all likelihood, the Union Finance Minister will restrain himself from making populist announcements like hike in income tax limit, among others, and will stick to the path of fiscal consolidation. Mr Jaitley along with his junior Jayant Sinha entered Parliament premises quarter past ten and will lay the Budget copy in Lok Sabha by 1100 hrs. The Union Cabinet met in the House to pass the budget. (agencies)
