The Chief Minister stated that Uttarakhand will benefit from various provisions in the Union Budget. "The state's share of federal taxes has risen. This represents a 25% increase over the previous year. The state's share of central taxes was approximately Rs 9130 crores last year, and it will now be approximately Rs 11428 crores. The states' interest-free loan for 50 years has been extended for another year. This is a critical opportunity for the state," said CM Dhami.
