What is the main reason for presenting the budget in Parliament?

Correct answer: To get representatives’ approval for government income and expenditure

Correct answer: A, to obtain representatives’ approval for government income and expenditure. The budget sets out the government’s expected receipts and proposed spending for public purposes. Since this money is collected from and used for the public, the elected representatives must examine and approve the government’s financial plans through Parliament. This principle helps prevent the executive from spending public money without legislative control. A is correct because parliamentary approval gives democratic authority to taxation and expenditure. B is wrong because the Speaker is elected through a separate parliamentary process. C is wrong because presenting the budget does not remove Rajya Sabha members. D is wrong because the Election Commission is a constitutional body and is not created by the annual budget presentation. Memory cue: public money needs public representatives’ approval.
