Government likely to stick to fiscal discipline, may bolster NPS
Sunday, 28 January 2024 If there is one word to describe the Budget team, it's stability. Not only has finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman stayed her full term and will present her sixth straight Budget, but there are at least two secretaries who would be there for their fifth Budget - a rarity in bureaucracy.Finance secretary T V Somanathan and department of investment and public asset management (Dipam) secretary Tuhin Kanta Pandey have been part of the Budget team since they took over top positions and could well have two full Budgets to deal with in July and Feb 2025.
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.

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman condemned the Hooch tragedy in Tamil Nadu, highlighting that over 200 people are hospitalised and 56 have died, mainly from the scheduled caste. 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.
