FinMin goes green with Budget, to print fewer copies

February 22, 2016 15:51

Following up on the recommendations of a Parliamentary Standing Committee, the finance ministry has decided to go green and print fewer copies of the Economic Survey and Budget.

The copies of the two important documents would be available online once they are tabled in Parliament.

As the ministry has decided to print fewer copies, it has drastically curtailed the number of printed copies which would be made available to media houses. They will now be getting only three hard copies of the Economic Survey and Budget.

Earlier, all accredited journalists were entitled to get a copy of these documents.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley will table Economic Survey in Parliament on February 26 and the Union Budget for 2016-17 on February 29.
