It’s the time for digital India to showcase what they have in its pockets, which is truly achieved by presenting the Union Budget 2023 in a paperless mode for the third time after 2021 and 2022. The Budget will be unfolded by Nirmala Sitharaman, Union Finance Minister, over the Union Budget Mobile App, as suggested by the Ministry of Finance. MoF notified everyone in the wake of February 1st, 2023, which is Budget Representation Day, that this year, 2023 the budget will be presented in an ingenious paperless format over the application.
They also suggested that the budget can be easily accessible to Android and IOS users. The App is available for download both on the Play Store and AppStore. The opportunity to present the Union Budget paperless was seized amidst COVID-19 restrictions. The app was designed and built by the National Informatics Centre (NIC) and is managed by the Ministry of Finance’s Department of Economic Affairs (DEA).
The application engulfs two other budgets, which can be read online and even available for download in a PDF format. The Union budget is available in bilingual mode(English and Hindi), making it more feasible for people to read it conveniently across the country. The software has been downloaded over a million times on Android, with the most recent update occurring on January 14, last year. Currently, it has a 4-star rating on Google Play. Great innovation is in the foreplay and will surely go way ahead in terms of usage.
