{'jawaharlal nehru': [11, 2, 14, 10], 'prime ministers': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'indira gandhi': [2, 0, 3, 0], 'rajeev gandhi': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'budget': [3, 1, 4, 10], 'moraiji desai': [3, 0, 1, 0], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13]}

The correct answer is option-1, Jawaharlal Nehru.

Prime Ministers in India are typically responsible for presenting the budget in Parliament. However, during Jawaharlal Nehru`s tenure as the Prime Minister of India from 1947 to 1964, he did not present any budgets. The responsibility of presenting the budget was handled by his Finance Ministers, such as R.K. Shanmukham Chetty and T.T. Krishnamachari.

Option-2, Morarji Desai, is incorrect because he did present the budget during his term as the Prime Minister from 1977 to 1979.

Option-3, Indira Gandhi, is incorrect as she also presented the budget during her various terms as the Prime Minister of India.

Option-4, Rajiv Gandhi, is incorrect as he also presented the budget during his term as the Prime Minister from 1984 to 1989.

In summary, it was Jawaharlal Nehru who did not present the budget during his tenure as the Prime Minister of India.
