Team India recently had a great performance in Australia, which reminded us of what kind of quality we have. Today data shows that India has the lowest mortality rate due to corona. All this is a sign of the transformation of the economy. Only three times so far the budget has been presented after the negative GDP figures. This time the negative figures are due to the worldwide epidemic.
"I am presenting the budget for 2021-22.

We gave a total relief of 13 percent of GDP or Rs 27.18 lakh crore.
Highlights of Budget 2021
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman reached the Parliament House after handing over a soft copy of the budget to President Ramnath Kovind. A cabinet meeting was held here in which the budget was approved. This will be Nirmala Sitharaman's third budget. Both the general public and the business world have high hopes for this budget. The reason for hope is his statement given on December 18 last year. He said this time the budget would not have come in the last 100 years. The Economic Survey, tabled in Parliament on February 29, has many indications of this.
Krishnamurthy Subramaniam, chief economic adviser who prepared the economic survey, said the time has come for the government to increase its spending and reduce the tax burden on the people. However, private companies are not in a position to increase costs at present. That is why the government has to increase the expenditure, but the government is short of money for the expenditure. That is why there is little hope of tax relief. Conversely, there is talk of imposing a corona cess, even if it seems to be on higher-earning companies.
