- Statement (i) is correct: An Interim Budget (also known as a Vote on Account) is presented during a transition period, especially before general elections, to allow the government to meet necessary expenditures until a full budget is presented by the new government. - Statement (ii) is correct: By convention, an Interim Budget typically does not propose major policy changes, new taxes, or new schemes. Its primary focus is on authorizing essential government spending. - Statement (iii) is incorrect: The Economic Survey is traditionally presented one day before the presentation of the full Union Budget, not the Interim Budget. In an election year, the outgoing government may not present a full Economic Survey, or it might be released later by the new government. - Statement (iv) is correct: The core purpose of an Interim Budget is to obtain parliamentary approval for government expenditure for a limited period (usually a few months) until a regular budget is passed. This authorization is called a 'Vote on Account'.
