Parliament on Friday passed the interim budget for the financial year 2014-15 with Rajya Sabha returning it after a brief discussion.
Unlike in the Lok Sabha, which passed the budget without any discussion, the Upper House devoted substantial time in discussing the financial statement albeit in the absence of Finance Minister P Chidambaram who is away in Sydney for G-20 ministerial meet.
