When contacted, sources in the Ministry of Finance said new machines have been procured and installed in Kartavya Bhawan. “Checking the machines and trial printing is underway,’ the source said. But given that the Budget printing process involves multiple ministries, departments and personnel, and is a time bound activity, the decision to print the Budget in North Block is “by way of abundant caution’, the sources said. “This is a transition phase as North Block press is a tried and tested place,” the source said.
