It was "full marks" for Finance Minister Arun Jaitley from his elder sister Madhu Bhargava for presenting a "dynamic" budget, saying it took care of all sections of society.

After keenly watching the budget presentation by Jaitley in the Lok Sabha from the visitors' gallery, she went to her younger brother's chamber to congratulate him on what she described as a very productive document.

"It is a very dynamic and very good budget. I give full marks to him for the budget in which he has taken care of all sections of society," she told reporters outside Parliament.

Asked on how many marks she would give to her younger brother, she said, "He is my younger brother and I will be very partial by giving him 10 marks out of 10."
 

Jaitley's lawyer niece and Bhargava's daughter Punita also termed it as a "forward-looking" budget.

"It is a very good budget and a very inclusive one. It is a forward looking budget," she said, adding that her uncle has taken care of all sections of society.
