In the year 2024-2025, former Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khatter presented a budget of 1 lakh 89 thousand 877 crore as the then Finance Minister.
Why can the budget be 2 lakh crores? This year’s budget can cross the figure of Rs 2 lakh crore. This estimate has been imposed in view of the increase in the size of the budget of the last few years. Last year, in 2024-25, the then Chief Minister Manohar Lal presented a budget of Rs 1.89 lakh crore, which was 11% more than the previous year.
Earlier in 2023-24 the budget was Rs 1.83 lakh crore. In the year 2022-23, this amount was Rs 1.77 lakh crore, which was 15.6% more than 2021-22. In this way, the trend of continuous increase in the budget is being seen, due to which the budget is likely to be more than 2 lakh crore rupees.

Through this scheme, the government will give loan interest free to entrepreneur women up to one lakh rupees. CM Naib Saini will also make provisions for this in the budget. Women interested in the industry will get great relief from this. On International Women’s Day, CM Saini announced it for women.

However, any woman whose name is a gas connection in the state, that woman can be given about 12 LPG cylinders at the rate of Rs 500 per cylinder every year. For this, the woman will have to show the Aadhaar card of Haryana.
40 thousand jobs in a year for youth Naib Saini is going to provide great relief to the youth as a government job in the budget.

Government can increase TA-DA of MLAs Naib Saini can give relief to MLAs in the first budget. MLAs of the ruling party and opposition have demanded the government to increase TA and DA. Currently, MLAs in Haryana are getting TA-DA of Rs 18 per km. The legislators have said that this is insufficient in view of increasing inflation. In view of the demand of MLAs, CM Saini can take a relief decision in the budget.

The annual interest payment is 31.74% of the total budget.
If the government starts new schemes to speed up the pace of development, it will also cost it. Due to this, the state government will also be bound to increase the debt burden. The BJP government has come for the third consecutive time in the state. When the BJP government was formed for the first time in 2014, the state had a debt of ₹ 70 thousand crore.
