From LOL to ROFL: These Budget 2024 memes best capture our 'interim' sentiments


Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman delivered the Interim Budget 2024 today, but you may not really need your calculator.

There wasn’t any major surprise or policy change as we’re in election season. 

While there were no tweaks in taxation, the FM said the near future will be a “golden era” for India’s tech-savvy youth while announcing a corpus of Rs 1 lakh crore with 50-year interest-free loans for startups in sunrise domains. The government also plans to expand and strengthen the EV ecosystem.

Meanwhile, as the nation sipped the morning coffee taking in the 57-minute Budget speech, netizens were doing what they do best—crafting memes to cope with Budget blues.

So what are we waiting for? Let the meme fest begin!

With no major announcements, this Budget came as a ‘disappointment’ for the netizens.
