Fiscal deficit may fall below revised estimate of 5.8%

By Economic Times - 6 months ago
The Indian government's fiscal deficit could be slightly lower than revised estimates of 5.8% of GDP due to robust revenues and lower subsidy outgo. Tax revenues could exceed the revised estimate by ₹27,000 crore. The fiscal deficit in absolute terms is pegged at ₹ 17.3 lakh crore. Direct tax receipts are expected to exceed revised estimates by about Rs 14,000 crore, while indirect revenues, including customs and excise duty, by Rs 13,000 crore.
