“I shall be presenting the Union Budget for 2017-18 tomorrow (Wednesday). I shall be happy to respond to your questions which you can send directly to me,” Jaitley said in a video message.

The questions can be asked on Twitter by using hastag #MyQuestionToFM.

This year, the government has decided to advance the Union Budget presentation to February 1, doing away with a decade-old practice of presenting it on the last working day of February.
