When the treasury became empty, they started raising money by imposing unnecessary taxes on the same public. Angered by this move of the state government, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman scolded them and protested against putting a burden on the public.

Actually, we are talking about the hilly state of Himachal Pradesh. The Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu government here had made many tempting promises to the people during the elections. When the government’s treasury became empty in fulfilling these promises, now they have again started collecting money from the public. The state government recently issued an order in which it has been said that people will have to pay additional fees on sewerage connection according to the number of toilet seats in their homes. This system has also been implemented from October 1. This means that if you have 2 toilet seats in your house, then now you will have to pay 50 rupees extra every month.

What did Finance Minister Sitharaman say?

Citing a media report, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman wrote on Twitter (X), ‘If this order of the Himachal Pradesh government is true, then it is hard to believe. Our Prime Minister Modi ji started the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan with the people for their convenience. Here the Congress is imposing a tax on people for toilets. It is shameful. The Congress government could not provide a clean environment to the people during its tenure and this step is shameful for the country.’

Unbelievable, if true!
Whilst ⁦PM @narendramodi⁩ ji, builds Swachhata as a people’s movement, here is ⁦@INCIndia⁩ taxing people for toilets! Shame that they didn’t provide good sanitation during their time, but this step will shame the country! https://t.co/EPTmOmyufM

What did the Jal Shakti Department say?

On the other hand, the Jal Shakti Department of the state government has denied issuing any such notification. The department said, our aim is to achieve 100 percent connectivity so that pollution can be reduced and sewerage facilities can be made available. The recently issued notification is only about water charges. However, let us tell you that in the recent notification of the Jal Shakti Department, it is clearly written that Rs 25 will have to be paid per toilet seat.

The government is stuck in a financial crisis.

Let us tell you that the Sukhu government of Himachal Pradesh is facing a severe financial crisis at this time. The situation was such that last month the government could not even provide salary to its employees and pensioners on time. After this, pollution tax was also imposed and now there is talk of imposing tax on toilets to fill the treasury.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman was appointed as India’s first full-time woman Finance Minister after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won the second consecutive general election in 2019. Despite being the first woman finance minister to hold the full-time role, Sitharaman is only the second woman to present the budget.

First woman to present the Union Budget

Former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was the first woman to present the Union Budget of India for 1970–71. He took over the role after the resignation of the then Finance Minister Moraji Desai. During this period, Gandhiji was the Prime Minister and she also achieved the title of the first woman Finance Minister of India. However, she held the post for a short period until Yashwantrao Chavan took over the finance portfolio in March 1971.

Nirmala Sitharaman is India’s first full-time woman finance minister.

When ministers had to step down, prime ministers took over the finance portfolio. It began with Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, who read the Union Budget of 1948 after T.T. Krishnamachari was found guilty on corruption charges. Now Nirmala Sitharaman is the first full-time woman Finance Minister of India.

He presented India’s first budget

The first Indian budget was presented on 7 April 1860 by James Wilson, a Scottish economist of the East India Company. RK Shanmukham Chetty presented the first budget of independent India on November 26, 1947.

How long was the longest budget speech?

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman holds the record for the longest speech for the Union Budget 2020, which lasted 2 hours and 42 minutes. His budget speech for FY23 lasted for about 1.5 hours. For the interim Budget 2024, the Finance Minister has already warned not to expect any major announcement.

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday said that the focus of the Finance Ministry is not only on increasing GST collection but also on bringing all business establishments under its ambit. Speaking at a function organized on the occasion of opening of GST Facilitation Center in Gujarat, Sitharaman said, GST Suvidha Centers will help the business establishments in removing the inconveniences faced in getting GST registration and will make it easier to resolve the issues.

He said, the country’s GST collection is increasing every month. GST has reduced the tax burden on many items as compared to before. Traders know that they no longer have to pay double taxes as before. Because of this GST collection is increasing. But still many establishments are outside its scope and are not part of the formal economy. They should come under the purview of GST to strengthen the economy. We collect only a small share in taxes and formalization of the economy can happen only when everyone is in the tax net.
