As per Kautilya’s thoughts, who prepared the annual budget ?
Samaharta
In Kautilya's Arthashastra the Samaharta was the Collector-General of revenue. He supervised the collection of income from all sources (forts, rural areas, mines, forests, trade routes, etc.) and maintained the accounts of the realm.
Because he knew both the sources of income and the heads of expenditure, the Samaharta drew up the annual statement of receipts and expenditure, which is effectively the state's annual budget.
The Samnidhata was the Treasurer who kept the treasury and stores; the Amatya was a minister or high official in general; and the Swamin was the king himself, the first of the seven elements (Saptanga) of the state.
Hence, the answer is Samaharta.
