The Ministry of Finance has invited suggestions and ideas from citizens for the Union Budget for the FY 2026-27, encouraging public participation in the budget-making process. As per convention, the Union Budget is expected to be presented in Parliament on February 1, 2026.
In a post shared on the government's citizen engagement platform MyGov.in, the Finance Ministry said it is seeking inputs to ensure that the upcoming budget reflects the aspirations and needs of people from all sections of society while promoting inclusive growth and national development.
"The Ministry of Finance invites your valuable ideas for the Union Budget 2026-27 with an aim to reflect the aspirations and needs of the people while fostering inclusive growth and national progress," the post said. It added that suggestions are welcome from everyone, including students, professionals, homemakers and retirees, reinforcing the government's commitment to participatory governance.
Citizens can submit their suggestions till January 16 by logging in to the MyGov portal at mygov.in. The ministry highlighted that the initiative aligns with the spirit of Jan Bhagidari (people's participation) and aims to involve citizens directly in shaping India's economic roadmap.
The Finance Ministry also noted that in previous years, several suggestions received through the MyGov platform were incorporated into the Annual Budget. "Be a part of good governance. Your contribution counts. Share your ideas and help the nation rise to even greater heights," the post said, urging citizens to actively participate in the budget consultation process.
