Government has decided to present the Budget for 2017-18 on February 1, instead of the usual practice of unveiling it on the last working day of February, so that all allocations are available before the start of financial year from April 1.
It has also decided to merge the Rail Budget with the Union Budget.(This story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is auto-generated from a syndicated feed.)
