Answer» 1. Fiscal deficit = Total expenditure - total receipts net of borrowing = 14, 90, 925 - (9,35,685 + 11, 650 + 30,000) 5,13,590 crore 2. Revenue deficit = (c) - (a) = 12,86,109 - 9,35,685 = 3,50,424 crore 3. Primary deficit = Fiscal deficit - Interest payment = 5,13,590 - 3,19,759 = 19,38,831 crore |
