Quick Summary
The Union Budget and the Finance Bill are closely related but distinct. The Finance Bill essentially acts as a replica of the Union Budget, containing proposed amendments. Once these amendments are approved by Parliament and receive presidential assent, the Finance Bill transforms into the Finance Act, becoming official legislation.
Budget amendments after passing in the parliament will go for presidents nod and then it will be an act. Without the presidents nod nothing is acceptable.
