01 Oct 2014 Evaluate

Sounding an alarm bell for the government, the data released by the Controller General of Accounts has revealed that the Fiscal deficit touched 74.9 percent of the Budget Estimates for 2014-15 to cross Rs 3.97 lakh crore in the first five month of the fiscal at the end of August. However, the numbers are only slightly higher than the deficit of 74.6 percent of the Budget Estimates (BE) at the end of August in the 2013-14 fiscal.

Fiscal deficit, the gap between government expenditure and revenue, for the whole fiscal 2014-15, has been pegged at Rs 5.31 lakh crore or 4.1 percent of GDP and as per fiscal consolidation roadmap it has to be brought down to 3 percent of the GDP by 2016-17.

Meanwhile, the Controller General of Accounts data showed that the total expenditure of the government during April-August was over Rs 6.72 lakh crore or 37.5 percent of the estimates for the entire 2014-15 fiscal. Of which, Plan expenditure was over Rs 1.77 lakh crore, while non-plan expenditure stood at Rs 4.95 lakh crore.

On the revenue deficit front the government has already reached 85.8 percent of the BE or over Rs 3.24 lakh crore in the first five months with revenue collection coming little over Rs 2.7 lakh crore or 22.7 percent of the BE. Net tax receipts were at Rs 1.85 lakh crore in the first five months of the current fiscal year that ends in March 2015.
