February 1, the likely date for Union Budget, will fall on Saturday.
The Union Budget for next fiscal is likely to be presented on February 1, despite it being a Saturday, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi said on Friday. "At this moment, I can say that tradition will continue," Mr Joshi said.
He was responding to a query about the government continuing its tradition of presenting the Union Budget on February 1.
According to Article 112 of the Constitution, the Union Budget is a statement of the estimated expenditure of the government for a particular year.
