State Finances: A Study of Budgets of 2011-12

Published By: RBI on eSS | Published Date: March, 29 , 2012

The budgetary data for 2011-12 indicates the commitment of States to carry forward fiscal correction, as evident from the emergence of revenue surplus after a gap of two years and consequent reduction in fiscal deficit-GDP ratio. Notwithstanding the improvement in the revenue account, the budgeted fiscal deficit-GDP ratio for 2011-12 is higher than the recommended benchmark by the Thirteenth Finance Commission (ThFC), mainly on account of higher capital outlay during 2011-12.
