Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Wednesday tabled the Union Budget for the year 2017-18 along with the fiscal policy statements in Rajya Sabha.

He tabled the Budget in the Upper House after doing so in the Lok Sabha.

Before the House convened and Chairman Hamid Ansari came, Jaitley met and greeted former prime minister Manmohan Singh, a noted economist, and shared a few moments with him. He also greeted senior member Karan Singh, besides some others.

Jaitley was accompanied by Union Power Minister Piyush Goyal, who also greeted Singh.

Soon after the tabling of the Budget, the Chairman adjourned the House for the day.
