Today, the suspense regarding the new Maharashtra cabinet came to an end as Chief Minister Eknath Shinde assigned the finance department to the new Deputy, Ajit Pawar. On July 2, along with Ajit Pawar, several new ministers took their oath, with three ministries from Shiv Sena and six from BJP being allocated.

Shiv Sena, led by Eknath Shinde, had to relinquish the Agriculture, Relief and Rehabilitation, and Food and Drug Administration ministries, while Devendra Fadnavis's BJP had to let go of the Finance, Cooperation, Medical Education, Food & Civil Supplies, Sports & Youth Welfare, and Women and Child Welfare departments.
