Jaitley, who examined the final copy of the document on Wednesday evening here, arrived in Parliament on Thursday morning around 10:00 a.m.
He is also expected to address the media at around 3.30 p.m. this afternoon.
Jaitley, carrying the symbolic cherry-brown briefcase containing the Budget, was seen earlier at the Ministry of Finance (North Block) along with Finance Secretary Dr Hasmukh Adhia, Chief Economic Adviser Arvind Subramanian, Economic Affairs Secretary Subhash Chandra Garg and others.
