Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will set a record by presenting the sixth Budget in a row -- five annual Budgets and one interim -- a feat achieved so far only by former Prime Minister Morarji Desai.
With the presentation of interim Budget on February 1, Ms. Sitharaman will surpass the records of her predecessors like Manmohan Singh, Arun Jaitley, P. Chidambaram, and Yashwant Sinha, who had presented five budgets in a row. Mr. Desai, as Finance Minister, had presented five annual Budgets and one interim Budget between 1959-1964.
Former Prime Minister Morarji Desai who holds the tag of presenting 10 Budgets -- the maximum by any Finance Minister -- had presented six of them, including one interim, in a row.
