Abstract

India needs to sustain post-Covid fiscal improvements reflected in buoyant revenue growth, reduced pressure on expenditure and a reduction in public debt and deficits. However, the debt ratio of the general government (Union and States) remains at an elevated level. A targeted reduction in debt and deficit, a compositional shift of the Union government’s capital expenditure, and a state specific rebalancing of the FRBM framework may help fasten the process of fiscal recovery and growth.

Effective Revenue Deficit = Revenue deficit- Grants in aid for creation of capital assets.
