 Measures of Govt. Budget Deficit
• Budgetary deficit is defined as the excess of total
estimated expenditure over total estimated revenue.
When the govt. spends more than it collects then it
incurs a budgetary deficit with reference to budget of
Indian govt. Can be of 3 type:-
• 1) Revenue Deficit
• 2)Fiscal Deficit
• 3)Primary Deficit
 Revenue Deficit
• Revenue Deficit Is concerned with the revenue expenditure and
revenue receipts of the government. It refers to excess of revenue
expenditure over revenue receipts during the given Fiscal year.
• Revenue Deficit signifies that government own revenue is insufficient
to meet the expenditures of government departments.
• Revenue deficit = Revenue expenditure – Revenue Receipts
Implications of Revenue Deficit:
1. It indicates the inability of the government to meet its regular and recurring
expenditure in the proposed budget.

2. It implies that government is dissaving, i.e. government is using up savings of other

sectors of the economy to finance its consumption expenditure.
3. It also implies that the government has to make up this deficit from capital receipts,
i.e. through borrowings or disinvestments. It means, revenue deficit either leads to an
increase in liability in the form of borrowings or reduces the assets through disinvestment.
4. Use of capital receipts for meeting the extra consumption expenditure leads to an
inflationary situation in the economy Higher borrowings increase the future burden in
terms of loan amount and interest payments.
 Fiscal Deficit
• Fiscal deficit is the difference between the total revenue and
total expenditure of a government in a financial year. Fiscal
deficit arises when the expenditure of a government is more
than the revenue generated by the government in a given
fiscal year.
• Fiscal deficit happens due to events like a major rise in
capital expenditure or deficit arising from revenue. It serves
as an indicator of how well the government is managing its
finances.
 Implications of Fiscal Deficit
• Fiscal deficit indicates the total borrowings requirements of the govt.
borrowings not only repayment of principal amount, but also require
payment of interest
• Government mainly borrow from Reserve Bank Of Indian to meet its
Fiscal Deficit.
• Government also borrow from rest of the world which raises its
dependence on their country
• Borrowing increase the financial burden.
Primary Deficit and Implication
• Primary deficit refers to difference between fiscal deficit of the
current year and interest payments on the previous borrowings.
• Primary Deficit = Fiscal Deficit – Interest Payments
• It indicates, how much of the government borrowings are going to
meet expenses other than the interest payments. The difference
between fiscal deficit and primary deficit shows the amount of
interest payments on the borrowings made in past. So, a low or zero
primary deficit indicates that interest commitments (on earlier loans)
have forced the government to borrow.
