"To mark the final stage of the Union Budget making process, sweets were provided to the core staff due to undergo “lock-in” at their workplaces, instead of a customary Halwa ceremony every year in view of the prevailing pandemic situation and the need to observe health safety protocols," Ministry of Finance said in a statement.

It further added that in order to maintain the secrecy of the Budget, there is a “lock-in” of the officials involved in making the Budget.
