Tips for your answer

Anchor your introduction in the Constitution: Begin with Article 112 (Annual Financial Statement) and briefly link the Union Budget to Parliamentary control over public finance. This instantly gives constitutional depth.
Use document-based subheadings, not narration: Structure the body around AFS, Demands for Grants, Finance Bill, and briefly mention FRBM statements—this shows clarity of Budget architecture instead of vague explanation.
Conclude with accountability + transparency linkage: End by connecting Budget documents to democratic oversight, fiscal discipline, and executive accountability, not with repetition or data.
