Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman gave her longest speech on Budget 2020 in the parliament explaining and clarifying every nook and cranny of the Union Budget.
She held a press conference and addressed the mediapersons. On being asked that the real estate sector is ignored in the budget, she said that the government has already given several boosts to the sector such as stalled projects which need to be completed will be given the last mile funding so the project can be completed which is already ongoing. The tax holiday for the real estate promoters is already extended by one more year.
"We have actually given something much more that what was announced even before for the real estate sector," said Sitharaman.
