Budget to be enacted by month end
DDT understands that the Finance Bill 2008 is to be passed by both houses of Parliament by the month end and will receive the assent of the President in the first week of May 2008. It seems the CBEC is all geared up with the notifications and instructions for an early implementation of the Budget 2008 proposals. MPs are eager to get back to their constituencies for there are many bye elections and more important things to be attended to than the union budget.
