[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance<\/strong><\/a> government will present its last budget on February 1 before the upcoming Lok Sabha elections<\/strong><\/a>, which will be held in April-May this year.<\/p>\n

The Union Finance Ministry has called it an interim budget<\/strong><\/a> but some of the media reports have speculated that the Government may present a full budget.<\/p>\n

Union Minister Piyush Goyal has been temporarily given charge of the finance ministry in view of Arun Jaitley\u2019s indisposition, will present the\u00a0 interim budget.<\/p>\n

What is an interim budget?<\/strong><\/p>\n

An interim budget is the budget of a government that is going through a period of transition.<\/p>\n

An interim budget is a complete set of accounts, including both expenditure and receipts, and gives the complete financial statement.<\/p>\n

The Union government can introduce tax changes but during an election year, successive governments have avoided making any major changes in income tax laws during an interim budget.<\/p>\n

When an interim budget presented?<\/strong><\/p>\n

An interim budget is presented by a government if it does not have the time for a full Budget or because the general elections are to be conducted shortly. So traditionally, in an election year, the outgoing government presents an interim budget. The task of framing the full budget is left to the incoming government.<\/p>\n

Why an interim budget presented?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Governments require Interim Budgets to function during the time it takes for a new government to create its own fiscal plan. The budget for the year approved by Parliament gives the government spending rights only till March 31, the end of the financial year.<\/p>\n

The government needs parliamentary authority for incurring expenditure in the new fiscal year until a full Budget in case it is not able to present one before the financial year ends.<\/p>\n

Parliament passes a vote-on-account through the Interim Budget, which allows the government to meet the expenses of the administration such as paying the salaries and for its programmes.<\/p>\n

This is until the new Parliament considers and passes the Budget for the whole year. In an election situation, the vote-on-account is usually for a four-month period.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>How is interim budget different from regular budget?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In an interim budget, the vote-on-account seeks Parliament\u2019s nod for incurring expenditure for part of a fiscal year. The estimates are presented for the entire year, as is the case with the regular Budget. The new government has the full freedom to change the estimates completely when the final Budget is presented.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
