<h1>Budget Passed in Lok Sabha via Guillotine Process Amid Protests; Finance Bill 2018 Approved by Voice Vote.</h1> The government passed the Budget for the fiscal year starting April 1 in the Lok Sabha without discussion, using the guillotine process due to ongoing opposition protests. Finance Minister presented the Finance Bill 2018 and the appropriation bill amid disruptions. The bills were approved by voice vote, facilitated by the ruling BJP-led NDA's majority in the Lower House. The guillotine process allowed all outstanding grant demands to be voted on simultaneously. The bills will be considered approved if the Rajya Sabha does not return them within 14 days. Opposition protests have stalled parliamentary proceedings since March 5.
