The Printing process for UNION BUDGET 2014-15 commenced with "HALWA CEREMONY". More than 100 officials involved in making the UNION BUDGET are locked in from 02/07/2014 in press till the UNION BUDGET is presented by the Union Finance Minister on 10/07/2014. For details of Union Budgets presented since Independence see the Press Release of the PIB dated 02/07/2014 attached.
** "Halwa Ceremony" has been a tradition which has continued for long. As part of the ritual, 'halwa' is prepared in a big kadhai (vessel) and served to the entire staff in the ministry.The significance of the sweet dish is that after it is served a large number of officials and support staff who are directly associated with the Budget making and printing process are required to stay in the ministry, cut off from their families till the presentation of the Budget by the minister in Lok Sabha.
