What will be the budget making process?
Let us tell you that the process of budget making will start in the presence of senior officials of the Finance Ministry. This process is very confidential. Although its outline is prepared well in advance, the power to finalize it lies in the hands of the Finance Minister only. At the same time, security arrangements have been made keeping in mind the budget making process. No outsider is allowed inside the Finance Ministry. At the same time, if someone is in urgent need, only then he is allowed to go inside. Apart from this, entry of mobile phones is banned. However, in case of urgent need, there is a provision to make calls from landline. The computers which contain budget circulars are linked to the NIC server.
