The Department of Finance (Hindi: Vitta Vibhāg), often referred to as the Finance Ministry, is a principal ministry of the Government of Chhattisgarh. It is the nodal agency responsible for the management of the state's economy, including fiscal policy, the preparation of the annual State Budget, and the administration of the Consolidated Fund of Chhattisgarh. The department is headed by the Minister of Finance, currently O. P. Choudhary since 29 December 2023.[1][2]
The department was established on 1 November 2000, following the creation of Chhattisgarh state. The inaugural Finance Minister was Ramchandra Singh Deo. Historically, the department has been overseen by several prominent leaders, including former Chief Minister Raman Singh, who held the portfolio for over a decade (2007–2018), and Amar Agrawal, who served as the Finance Minister from 2003 to 2007.
