Answer» 1. Revenue deficit = Revenue expenditure - Revenue receipts = 2811 - 2037 = ₹ 774 crore 2. Fiscal deficit = Total expenditure - Total receipts excluding borrowings = (Revenue exp. + Capital exp.) - (Revenue receipts + Recoveries of loans and other receipts ) = (2811 + 550) - (2037 + 240) = 3361 - 2277 = ₹ 1084 crore 3. Primary deficit = Fiscal deficit - Interest payment = 1084 - 1020 = ₹ 64 crore |
