How much the budget has changed since 1924?

Ever since narendra modi took over as the Prime minister, many old traditions have been abolished. Similarly, many changes have been made to the budget as well. Experts believe that there have been many benefits from these decisions. Earlier the budget was presented on the last day of the month i.e. on 28 or 29 February. But in the year 2017, the government started introducing it on february 1. Although many allegations were also levelled against the government during this period, the government started to present the budget soon, to get it passed by the parliament so that there is no shortage of money in any ministry in the new financial year. Let us know what changes were made by the Modi government:
