\nThis question is factually problematic as all the listed Prime Ministers have presented the Union Budget at some point during their tenure, either as Prime Minister holding the Finance portfolio or as Finance Minister. However, if forced to choose based on interpretations seen in some sources, Rajiv Gandhi is sometimes cited as the intended answer.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– Jawaharlal Nehru presented the budget for 1958-59 while holding the Finance portfolio.
\n– Morarji Desai presented numerous budgets as Finance Minister under Jawaharlal Nehru. He also presented the 1977-78 budget as Prime Minister holding the Finance portfolio.
\n– Indira Gandhi presented the budgets for 1970-71, 1980-81, and 1981-82 while holding the Finance portfolio as Prime Minister.
\n– Rajiv Gandhi presented the budget for 1987-88 while holding the Finance portfolio as Prime Minister after the resignation of V.P. Singh and N.D. Tiwari.
\n– Given that all four options *did* present budgets while serving as PM or FM, the question “Who among the following Prime Ministers of India has not presented the budget?” is factually incorrect with these options.
\n– If there is an intended correct answer among the options, it relies on a nuance not captured by the question, such as perhaps presenting a budget for a full year while being PM and full-time FM, or frequency of presentation. However, based on the simple criterion of “presented the budget”, none of the options fit the description of *not* having done so. Some interpretations suggest Rajiv Gandhi might be the intended answer because he presented only one budget while PM, and that too when the FM was unwell. However, this does not mean he “has not presented the budget”.
\n<\/section>\n
\nPrime Ministers who have presented the budget include Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, P.V. Narasimha Rao, and Atal Bihari Vajpayee (briefly). Morarji Desai presented the most budgets overall, primarily as Finance Minister.
