The interim budget typically takes care of the fiscal needs of the intervening period until a government is formed after the Lok Sabha polls.
Meanwhile, the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) issued a series of key recommendations ahead of the budget presentation.
They include meeting disinvestment targets and setting out a three-year schedule for disinvestment; subsuming petroleum, electricity and real estate in GST and aiming at a 3-rate structure; raising capex by 20 per cent to Rs 12 lakh crores; and setting up a full-fledged Ministry of Investment.
