Solution :Revenue Deficit = Revenue Expenditure - Revenue Receipts
₹ 8 , 000 crores = ₹ 15 , 000 crores- Revenue Receipts
Revenue Receipts= ₹ 15 , 000 crores -₹ 8 , 000crores =₹ 7 , 000 crores
Interest Payments = `30%` of Revenue Deficit=₹ 8 , 000 crores `XX (30)/(100)`=₹ 2, 400 crores
(a) Non-DEBT Creating Capital Receipts= Total Receipts Excluding Borrowing- Revenue Receipts
₹20 , 000 crores - ₹7 , 000 crores = ₹ 13 , 000 crores
(b) FISCAL Deficit =Total Expenditure - Total Receipts Excluding Borrowings

OR
Fiscal Deficit = Revenue Deficit + ( Capital Expenditure - Non- debt Creating Capital Receipts )
=₹ 8 , 000 crores + ( ₹ 22, 000 crores -₹ 13 , 000 crores )
=₹ 17 , 000 crores
(c) Primary Deficit= Fiscal Deficit - Interest Payments
= ₹ 17 , 000 crores - ₹ 2,400 crores
