Nirmala Sitharaman for this.

Union Home and Cooperation Minister said that increasing the size of the budget to Rs 39.45 lakh crore shows India’s rapidly growing economy even during the COVID-19 pandemic. Reducing the fiscal deficit target from 6.9% to 6.4% is a big achievement, I am confident that India will be able to bring down the fiscal deficit below 4% under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. Shri Amit Shah said that the Budget for a self-reliant India will be helpful in making India the world’s leading economy under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, by exploiting opportunities that have arisen in the global economy after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Along with this, 75 digital banks will also be set up in 75 districts to encourage digital payments.

The announcement of the ‘PM Development Initiative’ for the North-East will go a long way in realising Prime Modi’s vision of a prosperous North-East.
