In the Union Budget documents, 'Gender Budgeting' is presented as a distinct statement to highlight the allocation for women-centric schemes. Which statement number currently represents the Gender Budget?
- Statement 10
- Statement 13
- Statement 16
- Statement 20
Answer: Statement 13
Gender Budgeting is not a separate accounting exercise but a dissection of the existing budget to assess its impact on gender equality. It typically categorizes schemes into two parts: those with 100% allocation for women, and those with at least 30% allocation. In recent budget documents, this critical analytical data is presented in Statement 13.
