**New Delhi, [Date of Publication]** – Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present the Union Budget 2025 on Saturday, February 1st, at 11 am in the Lok Sabha. This will be her eighth consecutive budget presentation and the second full budget of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s third term.

Continuing a trend started in 2021, the budget will be entirely paperless. The complete documents, including the Annual Financial Statement, Demand for Grants, and Finance Bill, will be available online at http://www.indiabudget.gov.in and via the Union Budget Mobile App in both Hindi and English.

The budget outlines the government’s proposed expenditures and revenues for the 2025-26 fiscal year (April 1st, 2025 – March 31st, 2026). Preparation began in October 2024, involving consultations with various ministries. The government’s fiscal, spending, income, and economic policies are all detailed within the budget documents.

This year’s presentation marks the continuation of several modernizations introduced by the Modi government since 2014, including the integration of the Rail Budget into the main budget (2017), the shift of the presentation date to February 1st, and the adoption of a digital-only format.
