Correct Answer - Option 4 : The Acworth Committee

The correct answer is The Acworth Committee.

  • The Railway Budget and the General Budget were presented separately for the first time in the year 1924.
  • The Acworth Committee, chaired by Sir William Acworth, pointed out that the entire railway system needed unified management, hence on the recommendation of the Committee, the government started presenting the Railway budget separately from the General budget henceforth every year.
  • The Railway Budget constituted 84 percent of the general budget at that time.

  • On 25 February 2016, Suresh Prabhu became the last railway minister to present a separate Railway Budget in the parliament.
  • On 1 February 2017, Arun Jaitley became the first Finance Minister to present a combined railway and general budget.
