Here's how the Interim Budget differs from a Full or Annual Budget

The Interim Budget is presented by a government in an election year to seek the Parliament's approval for funds required for the transition period (April-July)

Also known as a vote on account, this budget is presented to ensure the continuity of government expenditures until a new government takes office

This is a constitutional requirement. The outgoing government cannot make major financial decisions or commitments for the incoming government

The annual Budget is presented by the new government after the elections and includes the annual financial statement for the entire financial year

It is tabled in both Houses of Parliament, debated and passed. The Annual Budget includes tax changes, new schemes and allocations for various departments for the entire year
