What are your expectations from the budget 2011-2012?

The budget session of parliament will commence on February 21, 2011.

The government has quite a few challenges on its plate as the budgetary session commences.

Finance minister Pranab Mukherjee recently interacted with several interest groups in a bid to seek suggestions before making the budget to be presented on February 28.
