The Finance Ministry said on Tuesday that Union Minister Arun Jaitley is expected to return as Finance Minister this month.
“Preparations are under way for Mr. Jaitley’s return in August, but the exact date can’t be confirmed at the moment,” the Ministry spokesperson told The Hindu .
Mr. Jaitley had undergone a kidney transplant surgery on May 14, following which he stayed at home. Piyush Goyal, Railway and Coal Minister, was given the additional charge of Finance.
Mr. Jaitley has been active on social media during his bed rest, having written blogs on topics such as the GST, the no-confidence motion and the National Register of Citizens.
