The '''Minister of Finance''' ('''Vitt Mantrī''' ) (or simply, the '''Finance Minister''', short form '''FM''') is the head of the [[Ministry of Finance (India)|Ministry of Finance]] of the [[Government of India]]. One of the senior-most offices in the [[Cabinet of India|Union Cabinet]], the finance minister is responsible for the [[fiscal policy]] of the government. As part of this, a key duty of the Finance Minister is to present the annual [[Union Budget]] in [[Parliament of India|Parliament]], which details the government's plan for taxation and spending in the coming [[financial year]]. Through the Budget, the finance minister also outlines the allocations to different ministries and departments. Occasionally, s/he is assisted by the '''Minister of State for Finance''' and the lower-ranked '''Deputy Minister of Finance'''.

There have been a number of Finance Ministers who went on to become the [[Prime Minister of India|Prime Minister]] [[Morarji Desai]], [[Charan Singh]], [[Vishwanath Pratap Singh]] and [[Manmohan Singh]] and also to serve as the [[President of India|President]] like [[Ramaswamy Venkataraman|R.Venkataraman]] and [[Pranab Mukherjee]]. Several other Prime Ministers have since held the additional charge of finance ministry.

The current Finance Minister of India is [[Nirmala Sitharaman]].
