ప్రభుత్వం ఒక ఆర్థిక సంవత్సరంలో పొందే receipts మరియు చేసే expenditure మధ్య అసమతుల్యత ఏర్పడినప్పుడు వివిధ రకాల Budget Deficits – బడ్జెట్ లోటులు ఏర్పడతాయి.
1. Revenue Deficit – రెవెన్యూ లోటు
2. Fiscal Deficit – ద్రవ్య/కోశ లోటు
3. Primary Deficit – ప్రాథమిక లోటు
Budget Deficits అర్థం చేసుకోవడానికి Government Receipts మరియు Government Expenditure classificationపై స్పష్టత అవసరం.
Government యొక్క regular revenue receiptsను Revenue Receipts అంటారు.
Tax Revenue
+
Non-Tax Revenue
Government liabilitiesను create చేసే లేదా Government financial assetsను reduce చేసే receiptsను Capital Receipts అంటారు.
Borrowings
Recovery of Loans
Disinvestment Receipts
Government యొక్క regular/current expenditureను broadly Revenue Expenditure అంటారు.
Salaries
Interest Payments
Pensions
Subsidies
Roads, bridges, buildings వంటి assets creationకు సంబంధించిన expenditureను Capital Expenditure అంటారు.
Roads
Bridges
Buildings
Infrastructure / Asset Creation
| Budget Type | Condition | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Balanced Budget | Receipts = Expenditure | రాబడులు మరియు వ్యయం సమానం |
| Surplus Budget | Receipts > Expenditure | రాబడులు వ్యయం కంటే ఎక్కువ |
| Deficit Budget | Receipts < Expenditure | వ్యయం రాబడుల కంటే ఎక్కువ |
R = E → Balanced
R > E → Surplus
R < E → Deficit
Government యొక్క budget expenditure, budget receipts కంటే ఎక్కువగా ఉన్న పరిస్థితిని broadly Budget Deficit అంటారు.
Government యొక్క Revenue Expenditure, Revenue Receipts కంటే ఎక్కువగా ఉన్నప్పుడు Revenue Deficit (RD) ఏర్పడుతుంది.
Uploaded textbookలో formula “Revenue Income − Revenue Expenditure”గా print అయింది.
Deficitను positive amountగా చూపే standard Government Budget formula:
Revenue Deficit = Revenue Expenditure − Revenue Receipts
Revenue Deficit ఉంటే Government యొక్క current/revenue receipts, current/revenue expenditureను పూర్తిగా meet చేయడానికి సరిపోవడం లేదని అర్థం.
Government's Revenue Expenditure > Revenue Receipts
అంటే Government తన regular revenue expenditureలో కొంత భాగాన్ని ఇతర sources ద్వారా finance చేయాల్సిన పరిస్థితి ఏర్పడుతుంది.
Suppose:
Revenue Expenditure = ₹950 crore
Revenue Receipts, Revenue Expenditure కంటే ఎక్కువగా ఉంటే Revenue Surplus ఏర్పడుతుంది.
Revenue Deficit → RE > RR
Revenue Surplus → RR > RE
Fiscal Deficit Government యొక్క మొత్తం borrowing requirementను అర్థం చేసుకోవడానికి ఉపయోగించే అత్యంత ముఖ్యమైన deficit indicator.
Exam calculationsలో దీనిని సాధారణంగా ఇలా రాస్తారు:
Governmentకు capital receipt వచ్చినప్పటికీ కొత్త debt/liability create చేయని capital receiptsను Non-Debt Capital Receipts (NDCR) అంటారు.
Recovery of Loans
Disinvestment / Other Non-Debt Capital Receipts
Borrowingsను Fiscal Deficit formulaలో normal receiptగా subtract చేయరు.
ఎందుకంటే Fiscal Deficit itself broadly reflects the Government's borrowing requirement.
Revenue Receipts = ₹900 crore
Non-Debt Capital Receipts = ₹100 crore
Government expenditure exceeds its non-debt receipts by a larger amount
↓
Government has a larger financing / borrowing requirement
Fiscal Deficit is reflective of the total borrowing requirement of Government.
Fiscal Deficit నుంచి Government యొక్క Interest Paymentsను తీసివేస్తే మిగిలేది Primary Deficit (PD).
Fiscal Deficitలో current year fiscal imbalanceతో పాటు previous debtపై చెల్లించాల్సిన interest burden కూడా ఉంటుంది.
Interest paymentsను తొలగించడం ద్వారా current fiscal operations వల్ల ఏర్పడుతున్న deficit pressureను అర్థం చేసుకోవడానికి Primary Deficit ఉపయోగపడుతుంది.
Primary Deficit = Fiscal Deficit without Interest Burden
Interest Payments = ₹200 crore
అంటే:
| Deficit | Formula | What It Indicates |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue Deficit | Revenue Expenditure − Revenue Receipts | Gap in Revenue Account |
| Fiscal Deficit | Total Expenditure − (Revenue Receipts + NDCR) | Total borrowing requirement |
| Primary Deficit | Fiscal Deficit − Interest Payments | Fiscal gap after excluding interest payments |
RD → Revenue Gap
FD → Financing / Borrowing Gap
PD → FD minus Past-Debt Interest
Union Budget documentsలో Effective Revenue Deficit (ERD) అనే indicator కూడా ఉపయోగిస్తారు.
ASO syllabusలో ప్రధానంగా Revenue Deficit, Fiscal Deficit మరియు Primary Deficit ఉన్నప్పటికీ, competitive examsలో Effective Revenue Deficit కూడా అడగవచ్చు.
Suppose the following Government Budget data:
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Revenue Receipts | ₹800 crore |
| Revenue Expenditure | ₹950 crore |
| Total Expenditure | ₹1,500 crore |
| Non-Debt Capital Receipts | ₹100 crore |
| Interest Payments | ₹200 crore |
Revenue Deficit = ₹150 crore
Fiscal Deficit = ₹600 crore
Primary Deficit = ₹400 crore
| Indicator | ₹ Crore | % of GDP |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue Deficit | ₹5,92,344 crore | 1.5% |
| Fiscal Deficit | ₹16,95,768 crore | 4.3% |
| Primary Deficit | ₹2,91,796 crore | 0.7% |
2026–27 BE
RD → 1.5% of GDP
FD → 4.3% of GDP
PD → 0.7% of GDP
Revenue → 1.5
Fiscal → 4.3
Primary → 0.7
| Deficit | 2025–26 RE (% GDP) | 2026–27 BE (% GDP) |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue Deficit | 1.5% | 1.5% |
| Fiscal Deficit | 4.4% | 4.3% |
| Primary Deficit | 0.8% | 0.7% |
BE = Budget Estimates
RE = Revised Estimates
Examలో yearతో పాటు BE లేదా RE అని ఇచ్చారా అనేది తప్పకుండా చూడాలి.

| Concept | Remember |
|---|---|
| Balanced Budget | Receipts = Expenditure |
| Surplus Budget | Receipts > Expenditure |
| Deficit Budget | Receipts < Expenditure |
| Revenue Deficit | RE − RR |
| Revenue Surplus | RR > RE |
| Fiscal Deficit | Total Expenditure − Non-Debt Receipts |
| Meaning of FD | Total Borrowing Requirement |
| Primary Deficit | FD − Interest Payments |
| PD = 0 | FD = Interest Payments |
| Effective Revenue Deficit | RD − Grants for Creation of Capital Assets |
| Borrowings | Debt Capital Receipts |
| Recovery of Loans | Non-Debt Capital Receipt |
| Disinvestment | Non-Debt Capital Receipt |
| 2026–27 BE RD | 1.5% of GDP |
| 2026–27 BE FD | 4.3% of GDP |
| 2026–27 BE PD | 0.7% of GDP |
= Revenue Expenditure − Revenue Receipts
Fiscal Deficit
= Total Expenditure − (Revenue Receipts + Non-Debt Capital Receipts)
Primary Deficit
= Fiscal Deficit − Interest Payments
Effective Revenue Deficit
= Revenue Deficit − Grants for Creation of Capital Assets
Revenue Deficit → Revenue Account Gap
Fiscal Deficit → Total Borrowing Requirement
Primary Deficit → Fiscal Deficit excluding Interest Payments
Borrowings → Debt Capital Receipts
Recovery of Loans + Disinvestment → Important Non-Debt Capital Receipts
Primary Deficit = 0 → Fiscal Deficit = Interest Payments
Union Budget 2026–27 BE:
Revenue Deficit → 1.5% of GDP
Fiscal Deficit → 4.3% of GDP
Primary Deficit → 0.7% of GDP
