"Must Understand Peculiarity Of Defence Budget": Nirmala Sitharaman | Read
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in an exclusive post-Budget interview to NDTV said the government has not cut back on defence spending, rather it ensured that defence pensions and procurement expenses are never lowered.
"We pay a lot of attention to them. This time also there was no issue in the defence budget. But we must understand the peculiarity of the defence budget. The year in which the payment has to be made, that year a higher provisioning has to be done," Ms Sitharaman told NDTV.
