Union Budget 2026–27

Presented 1 February 2026 by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.

In plain terms — a fiscal deficit means the government spends more than it earns in a year;
capital expenditure is money spent building things that last, like roads and hospitals;
debt-to-GDP compares what the government owes to the size of the whole economy, like a loan compared to your annual income.

Seeded once a year, at Budget time.
