India's first Budget post the onset of Covid-19 pandemic will be presented to Parliament on Monday.  Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present Union Budget 2021 at 11am, and this is the first budget after Covid-19 pandemic and the ninth one under the Modi led government.
Accordingly, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present her third and most significant Finance Bill to Parliament.
This year's Budget assumes significance as the Centre has to play a balancing act between inducing fiscal expansion, giving demand stimulus and maintaining the deficit under control.
Speculations are rife on demand generating stimulus packages, urban employment scheme and a Covid cess that might be announced.
