In a charged Lok Sabha session, Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi took centre stage, unveiling a poster of the traditional Halwa ceremony conducted at the Ministry of Finance before the Budget session. Pointing to the poster, Gandhi passionately criticised the lack of diversity, saying, "In this photo, 'Budget ka halwa' is being distributed. I can't see one OBC, tribal, or Dalit officer. The country's halwa is being shared, and 73% of the population is missing. Just 20 officers prepared the Budget of India. Hindustan ka halwa 20 logon ne baatne ka kaam kiya hai."
His remarks underscored the exclusion of marginalised communities in the budget preparation process, sparking a heated debate on representation and inclusivity within the government's financial planning. Gandhi's powerful critique aimed to highlight the disparity and call for more inclusive participation in shaping the nation's economic policies.

On the Union Budget, EAM Dr S Jaishankar says "The budget presented by FM Nirmala Sitharaman is a very exceptionally important budget as it is the first budget of the third term of the NDA government. The budget is presented at a time when the global situation is very volatile, uncertain, difficult in many ways. What the budget seeks to do is to maintain growth, manage and reduce inflation to ensure that our national capabilities grow and that India's rise and growth are not affected by a negative international environment. So this is a kind of global perspective, really global context in a way of how the budget should be seen."

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman revised tax slabs in the new regime, expanding the first taxable bracket from ₹3-6 lakh to ₹3-7 lakh, while maintaining the 5% tax rate. Standard deductions were increased, but details weren't provided. No changes were made for incomes below ₹3 lakh, the ₹12-15 lakh slab, or incomes above ₹15 lakh. These adjustments aim to benefit the middle class by potentially reducing their tax burden. However, the full impact depends on individual financial situations and requires further analysis.
