The much-anticipated Union Budget is set to be delivered on July 23 by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. And there's a lot of buzz around possible changes to the Provident Fund. Employees are hopeful that the upper ceiling of the PF, which has remained static at ₹15,000 for a decade, might see a hike.

She criticised the Congress party, particularly President Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi, for their silence on the issue. Sitharaman expressed shock that illicit liquor was being sold in Kalakurchi despite the availability of licensed liquor from government-run TASMAC shops. She called for a CBI investigation into the matter.
