Union Finance Minister Piyush Goyal's delivery of the Interim Budget 2019 on Friday, February 1, prompted Twitterati to fill social media with tweets, posts and hilarious memes.
While an Interim Budget does not announce schemes, Goyal digressed from tradition to announce PM Kaushal Vikas Yojana, Ujjwala Yojana and Rashtriya Gokul Yojana among others.
The Budget drew mixed reactions from the crowd. Here are the best ones.

Many people asking this 2 question
— Indian ☺ (@Iam_Vrm) February 1, 2019
1. If my salary is 500001 then I have to pay 12500
Donate that 1 & save 12500?
2. After all deduction Taxable income is 50000, why should I pay
After Tution fees , home loan EMI, PF, investment you have 5 lakhs then pay tax !#Budget2019
Every month 500, daily Rs 17, this is the biggest insult of our farmer by Mr @narendramodi #Budget2019

This man asks the real questions.
Not being pessimistic or something but you can only enjoy these new tax laws when you have a salary, for which you need a job. Ok, bye. #HowsTheJobs#Budget2019
