Budget bill inked by the King
The 2.5 trillion baht budget bill for 2557 fiscal year has already been endorsed by His Majesty the King.
The Public Relations Department said that HM the King issued a Royal command today to endorse the bill which will become effective one day after it was published in the Government Gazette.
The bill was supposed to come into effect on October 1 which marks the beginning of the new fiscal year. However, it was held up after the Opposition petitioned the Constitution Court challenging its constitutionality. The court however ruled the bill constitutional paving the way for the enforcement of the bill.
