Union Budget 2022-23 by Dr. Gaurav Garg

A budget is a consolidated financial statement prepared by government on expected public


expenditure and public revenue during a financial year.

RECEIPTS
● The receipts of government show the different sources from which government raises revenue. These receipts are
of two kinds: (i) Revenue receipts and (ii) Capital receipts.
○ Revenue receipts are current income receipts from all sources such as taxes, profits of public enterprises,
grants, etc. Revenue receipts neither create any liability nor cause any reduction in the assets of the
government.
○ Capital receipts, on the other hand, are the receipts of the government which either create liability or
cause any reduction in the assets of the government. e.g. borrowings, recovery of loan and disinvestment
etc.
● Comparing a person with the government
○ An individual, generally, finances his current expenditure from his current income. He borrows when his
current income is not sufficient for his current expenditure. Likewise, a government has two sources to
finance its expenditures: current income or revenue receipts and capital receipts. It borrows when revenue
receipts fall short of its current expenditures.
○ The dissimilarity between financing by an individual and that by a government is that an individual first
estimates his current income and then plans his expenditures while a government plans its expenditures
first and then finds the sources to finance them.

● (1) Revenue Receipts
○ Revenue receipts are current incomes of government, which neither create liabilities nor cause any
reduction in the assets of the government. These receipts are classified into (a) Tax Revenue and (b)
Non-tax Revenue.

■ (a) Tax Revenue : A tax is a legal compulsory payment by the people and firms to the
government of a country without reference to any direct benifit in return.. It is imposed on the
people by the government. A government collects revenue from various taxes like income tax,
sales tax, service tax, excise duty, custom duty etc. Traditionally the revenue from taxes has been
the primary source of government income.

■ (b) Non-Tax Revenue: The incomes accruing to government from sources other than taxes are
non-tax revenues. The major sources of non-tax revenues of the central government of India are:
(i) Commercial Revenue: It is received by government in the form of prices paid by
people for goods and services that government provides e.g. people pay for electricity
and for services of Railways, postal stamps, toll etc.
(ii) Administrative Revenue: It arises on account of administrative services of the
government. They are as follow:
(a) fees in the form of passport fees, government hospital fees, education fees,
court fee, etc.
(b) fine and penalties: charged by government on law-breakers for disobeying
rules and regulations.
(c) licence fee and permit
(d) Income that government get by taking possession of property which has no
legal claimant or legal heir.
(e) Interest receipts
(f) profits of public sector undertakings.

● (2) Capital Receipts


○ Capital receipts are those receipts of the government which either create liability or cause any reduction
in the assets of the government. The major sources of capital receipts of the central government are: (i)
Borrowings (ii) Recovery of Loans and (iii) Disinvestment - Resale of shares of public sector
undertakings.

○ (i) Borrowings: There are two sources from which the central government borrows. They are:
■ Domestic Borrowings: The government borrows from domestic financial market by issuing
securities and treasury bills. It also borrows from people through various deposit schemes such as
Public Provident Fund, Small Savings Schemes, and National Savings Scheme etc. These are
borrowings of the government within the country.
■ External Borrowings: In addition to domestic borrowings the government also borrows from
foreign governments and international bodies like International Monetary Fund (IMF), World
Bank etc. Foreign borrowings by the government bring in foreign exchange into the domestic
economy.

○ (ii) Recovery of Loans: Quite often state and local governments borrow from the central government.
The loans recovered by the central government from state and local governments are capital receipts in
the budget because recovery of loans reduces debtors (assets).

○ (iii) Disinvestment - Resale of shares of public sector undertakings: This is a very recent source of
capital receipts by which the central government has been mobilizing financial resources since 1991.
Prior to 1991, the central government owned 100 percent of the shares of public sector undertakings.
From 1991, the government adopted the policy of privatisation of public sector undertakings.
Consequently, it started selling its shares to general public and to financial institutions. This selling of
shares of public sector undertakings by the government is known as ‘disinvestment of public sector
undertakings’.

EXPENDITURE
● Capital Expenditure and Revenue Expenditure
○ When government incurs expenditure to create assets such as school and hospital buildings, roads
bridges, canals, railway lines etc., or reduce its liability such as repayment of loan etc., such expenditure
is known as capital expenditure.
○ But when government incurs expenditure that neither creates any asset nor reduces any liability, such
expenditure is known as revenue expenditure. For Example, payment of salaries to government
employees, maintenance of public property, providing free education and health services to people, etc
constitute revenue expenditure. These do not create any public asset.

● Plan Expenditure and Non-Plan Expenditure


○ After independence, our country adopted the path of planning to achieve economic development. Under
planning, provisions were made in the government budget for expenditure that was to be incurred every
year according to the priorities laid down in the five-year plans. Such expenditure is known as plan
expenditure.
○ Beside plan expenditure, government also incurs routine expenditure such as expenditure on police,
judiciary, water supply, sanitation and health, legislatures, defence, various government departments, etc.
Such routine expenditure is termed as non-plan expenditure.

Fiscal Deficit:
● Fiscal deficit is defined as excess of total expenditure over total receipts excluding borrowings during a fiscal
year.
● Fiscal deficit = Total budget expenditure – Total budget receipts excluding borrowings
Or
Fiscal Deficit = (Revenue expenditure + Capital expenditure) – (Revenue Receipts + Capital receipts
excluding borrowings)

Primary Deficit:
● Primary deficit is defined as fiscal deficit minus interest payments on previous borrowings.
● Primary deficit shows the borrowing requirements of the govt. for meeting expenditure excluding interest
payment.
