Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present the Budget 2022-23 in a paperless format just like last year. Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman was seen carrying a tablet kept inside a red coloured cover with a golden coloured national emblem embossed on it instead of the briefcase or `bahi khata`.
In a historic move, the Union Budget 2021 was presented in a digital format for the first time to promote the Government of India`s (GoI) Digital India flagship programme. This is being seen as an attempt to go green and also to minimise physical contact amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Sitharaman in 2019, ditched the longstanding tradition of carrying a briefcase and went `Swadeshi` to replaced the briefcase with the traditional `bahi khata` saying that the Modi-government was not a `suitcase-carrying government.`
