As the date of when the full budget will be presented has come out. On July 23, 2024, the country's Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present the full budget in Parliament. During this time she can make many important announcements. At the same time, according to media reports, in this budget, the Finance Minister can also announce the installment to be received under the PM Kisan Yojana.
