Just as a common man makes a budget plan of his home, how much he has to spend in a month or year and on what things to do, in the same way, the governments of different countries also make their budget every year, in which the income and expenditure of the government are mainly calculated. Yes, today we are going to tell you about a country where if the minister presenting the budget can drink alcohol even before presenting the budget. Yes, you must be feeling strange to know this, but this thing is 100 percent true. Britain is the name of this country. There is such a law here that on the budget day, the chancellor of the place can present the budget by drinking alcohol. The ministers presenting the budget in the UK Parliament is also called Chancellor.
According to media reports, strict rules have been made regarding the drinking of liquor in the rule book of the House of Commons, the Parliament of Britain. However, it is written that only the Chancellor is allowed to present the budget after drinking alcohol, that too is for only one day. After this, they too do not get permission to come to Parliament again by drinking alcohol. This rule is believed to have been in place in Britain for decades. However, in today's time, people call this rule absurd. There is another strange thing related to the budget in Britain. The same briefcase was used for 100 years to present the budget here. The briefcase was made in 1860 for the British chancellor William Gladstone, in which he was to present the country's budget. The name of this budget briefcase was Scarlett.

After being used by Chancellor William, every chancellor has used this briefcase to present the budget for 100 consecutive years in Britain. This trend, however, came to a halt in 1965 when the then Chancellor James Callaghan ordered a separate bag for himself. After this, in 1997, Chancellor Gordon Brown also demanded a new bag to present the budget. You would be surprised to know that in 2011, the British Chancellor George Osbourne used the same 151-year-old briefcase to present the budget in the House of Commons, which was built in 1860 for Chancellor William Gladstone.
