Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman posed outside the Finance Ministry with her Budget 2025 tablet in a red ‘Bahi Khata’ sleeve, continuing her tradition since 2019. Dressed in a white-red Madhubani saree, she later proceeded to meet President Droupadi Murmu before heading to Parliament. The shift from the colonial-era briefcase to the Bahi Khata in 2019 and the digital transition in 2021 align with India’s Digital India push. “Moving out from the British handhold felt right,” Sitharaman had stated earlier. The Union Budget presentation will outline key economic policies and financial roadmaps for the year ahead.
