Well, it is a compilation of Budget speeches of Union finance ministers comprising two volumes. Volume I is from 1947-48 to 1990-91 and Volume II is from 1991-92 to 1997-98. Why two volumes, one may ask. The volumes actually demarcate the pre-liberalisation and the post-liberalisation period of Indian economy.
The first Union Budget of independent Indian was presented by RK Shanmukham Chetty on November 26, 1947. Morarji Desai, Indira Gandhi, Pranab Mukherjee, Rajiv Gandhi, ND Tiwary, Manmohan Singh presented the following budgets till 1992.
