Finance Bill passed by Lok Sabha with 12 minor amendments

New Delhi: Lok Sabha on Tuesday passed the Finance Bill taking in consideration all the amendments proposed even as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) walked out of the House protesting against coal scam.

The Bill was passed with 12 minor amendments. The passage of the bill effectively brought to an end the budgetary process that started with the budget speech by the Finance Minister P Chidambaram on February 28.

The Bill will now go to the Rajya Sabha and then to the President for his assent.
