Advertisemtnt

Budget in the Constitution of India

Classification of Government Budget

Revenue మరియు expenditure relationship ఆధారంగా Government Budgetను మూడు ప్రధాన రకాలుగా classify చేస్తారు.

TYPES OF BUDGET
1. Balanced Budget
2. Surplus Budget
3. Deficit Budget
1. Balanced Budget

Estimated Government Revenue/Receipts మరియు Estimated Government Expenditure equalగా ఉన్నప్పుడు Balanced Budget అంటారు.

Government Receipts = Government Expenditure
R = E → Balanced Budget

Classical economists, including Adam Smith, balanced budgetను support చేశారు.

Classical View → Balanced Budget was regarded as desirable/neutral.

Modern welfare Governmentsకు expenditure requirements ఎక్కువగా ఉండటం వల్ల balanced budget policy అన్ని పరిస్థితుల్లో suitable కాకపోవచ్చు.

2. Surplus Budget

Estimated Government Receipts, Estimated Government Expenditure కంటే ఎక్కువగా ఉంటే Surplus Budget.

Government Receipts > Government Expenditure
R > E → Surplus Budget
Surplus Budget and Inflation

Study material ప్రకారం inflation సమయంలో surplus budget useful కావచ్చు.

Taxes / Government Revenue ↑
Purchasing Power ↓
Aggregate Demand ↓
Inflationary Pressure ↓
Exam Association:

Surplus Budget → Inflationary Situation
3. Deficit Budget

Estimated Government Expenditure, anticipated Government Receipts కంటే ఎక్కువగా ఉన్నప్పుడు Deficit Budget.

Government Receipts < Government Expenditure
R < E → Deficit Budget
Deficit Budget and Depression

Study material ప్రకారం depression సమయంలో Government expenditureను పెంచి economic activity మరియు employmentను stimulate చేయడానికి deficit budget useful కావచ్చు.

Government Expenditure ↑
Employment ↑
Aggregate Effective Demand ↑
Investment / Economic Activity ↑
Exam Association:

Deficit Budget → Depression / Development
Balanced vs Surplus vs Deficit Budget
Budget Relationship Textbook Association
Balanced R = E Classical approach
Surplus R > E Inflation control
Deficit R < E Depression / Development
Fast Memory:

R = E → Balanced

R > E → Surplus

R < E → Deficit
Other Types of Budgets

Uploaded study materialలో additional classifications కూడా ఉన్నాయి.

Unbalanced Budget

Proposed expenditure మరియు anticipated revenue equalగా లేకపోతే Unbalanced Budget.

Unbalanced Budget may be:

Surplus Budget OR Deficit Budget
Interim Budget

Full financial yearకు regular budget prepare చేయడంలో delay ఉన్నప్పుడు, short/interim period కోసం prepared budgetను Interim Budget అంటారు.

Ordinary Budget

Normal circumstancesలో సాధారణ annual financial period కోసం prepared budgetను Ordinary Budget అంటారు.

Supplementary Budget

Regular budgetలో provision చేయని additional expenditure అవసరమైనప్పుడు లేదా existing provision సరిపోనప్పుడు additional financial requirements కోసం Supplementary Budget prepared చేయవచ్చు.

Regular Budget Provision Insufficient → Supplementary Budget
Emergency Budget

War, severe depression, natural calamities వంటి extraordinary emergency situationsను ఎదుర్కొనేందుకు prepared budgetను Emergency Budget అంటారు.

War / Natural Calamity / Emergency → Emergency Budget
Vote on Account

Full Budgetకు legislative process పూర్తయ్యే ముందు Government expenditure కొనసాగించడానికి temporary authorization అవసరమైనప్పుడు Vote on Account ఉపయోగిస్తారు.

Important:

Interim Budget మరియు Vote on Accountను identical conceptsగా గుర్తుపెట్టుకోవద్దు. Examలో రెండింటి మధ్య distinction అడగవచ్చు.
