Budget 2019: All you need to know about Economic Survey

The Economic Survey reviews the overall state of the economy in the one year and is prepared under the guidance of the Chief Economic Adviser and presented by the union finance ministry.

However, this time Economic Survey 2019 will not be tabled on the first day of the budget session of the Parliament as government is presenting an interim budget.

The survey is not published in the election year as the task of framing the document is given to the government that will take power post the elections.

The document is framed by the economic division of the department of economic affairs under the ministry of finance and gives a detailed picture of the various sectors of the economy and an overall economic scenario of the country over the years.

The document helps in providing an outline for the year ahead.
