Full coverage: FM Nirmala Sitharaman's Union Budget 2022

All eyes are on Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman as she has started her Budget.

Sitharaman will also present the tax proposals and financial statements for the fiscal year 2022-23.

Sitharaman tabled the Economic Survey in the Lok Sabha on Monday (January 31).

The Survey has projected GDP (gross domestic product) growth at 8.0-8.5 per cent for financial year 2022-23, against the National Statistical Office’s (NSO) first advance estimates of 9.2 per cent for 2021-22.

The Economic Survey pointed to inflation as a concern, but said that the macroeconomic stability indicators signal the economy is ‘well-placed’ to take on the challenges of the next fiscal year.
