In a bid to make the annual budget 2021-22 consultations more participatory and democratic, the government has launched an online portal on MyGov platform to receive ideas for the budget from general public.
In a statement on Friday (13 November), the Ministry of Finance said that over the years, it has been holding pre-budget consultations in North Block with Industry/Commerce Associations, Trade Bodies and Experts to seek ideas for the Annual Budget.
However, owing to the pandemic, the ministry has received suggestions from various quarters for holding pre-budget consultations in a different format.
"It has accordingly been decided to create a dedicated email to receive suggestions from various Institutions/Experts. A specific communication to this effect will be sent shortly," the ministry said.
"It has also been decided to make the Annual Budget 2021-22 consultations more participatory and democratic by taking it closer to the people of India. Government has launched a micro-site (online portal) on MyGov platform which will go live on 15 November 2020 to receive ideas for the budget," the Finance Ministry said.
The portal will remain open till 30 November 2020, the ministry said.
The general public in their individual capacity need to register on MyGov to submit their ideas for budget 2021-22, it added.
The submissions will be further examined by the concerned ministries/departments of the government.
If required, individuals may be contacted on the email/mobile number provided at the time of registration to seek clarification on their submissions, the ministry said.
