Subject: India's fiscal deficit for April-September at Rs 7.02 lakh crore, widens to 39.3% of FY24 aim
India's fiscal deficit for the first half of this fiscal year through September stood at 7.02 lakh crore rupees, or 39.3% of annual estimates, government data showed today.

The fiscal deficit widened from 37.3% reported in the comparable year-earlier period.

Total receipts stood at 14.17 lakh crore rupees, while overall expenditure in April to September was at 21.19 lakh crore rupees. They were 52.2% and 47.1% of this fiscal year's budget target.


Tax and non-tax revenues were 49.8% and 78.5% of the budgeted estimate. While tax revenue was narrower than 52.3% of budget estimate in the last fiscal year, non-tax revenue swelled from 58.4% of budget forecast in the same period last year.


Revenue deficit was at 23.14 lakh crore rupees or 26.6% of the fiscal year's budget target, data showed. The revenue gap narrowed from 31.4% in year-earlier period.


While announcing the federal budget for this fiscal year, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said India aims to narrow the fiscal gap to 5.9% of gross domestic product from 6.4% in the last financial year.


The wider fiscal deficit comes amid mushrooming speculations that the Narendra Modi-led government, which is seeking to return to power for the third term after Lok Sabha elections next year, will soon have to unleash various fiscal measures and particularly so as to rein in galloping inflation rate.


On the expenditure side, New Delhi spent about 2.06 lakh crore rupees on major subsidies such as food, fertilisers and petroleum. This was 55% of the annual aim, narrower than 63% of budgeted expenditure in the comparable period last year.
