Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has been discharged from hospital today, after his kidney transplant surgery earlier this month.

"Delighted to be back at Home. My gratitude to the Doctors, Nursing officers and the paramedics who looked after me for over the past three weeks. I wish to thank all well-wishers, colleagues and friends who were very concerned and continued to wish me for my recovery," Jaitley tweeted.

Jaitley, 65, underwent a successful kidney transplant surgery at AIIMS on May 14. He had been keeping unwell since early April due to kidney related problems and a chest infection.

He had been admitted to AIIMS last month, but was released without getting any surgery done. He had been undergoing regular dialysis before his surgery.

Jaitley is currently listed on the prime minister of India's Web site as 'Minister Without Portfolio'.

He is expected to start working from home and receive files and official briefings within two or three weeks.
