Finance Minister Poses With Tablet In Red Sleeve Ahead Of Budget Speech

Ahead of presenting the Union Budget for 2024-25 to the Parliament, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman walked out of the finance ministry with a tablet in a red sleeve and the national emblem.

From the traditional briefcase to a “bahi-khata” and now a tablet, the budget document has gone paperless over the years

In 2019, Ms Sitharaman shattered the long-standing tradition of a Budget briefcase with a ‘bahi khata,‘ a red-colored Indian accounting ledger, in a step towards shedding the colonial legacy associated with the budget presentation. In 2021, the Finance Minister presented the budget in a paperless format, using a ‘Made in India’ tablet.
