What to Focus On

  • The budget is a statement of estimated receipts and expenditures.
  • India follows the financial year from 1 April to 31 March.
  • The main budget document is the Annual Financial Statement.

  • Allocation function deals with public goods.
  • Public goods are non-rivalrous and non-excludable.
  • Free-riders benefit without paying.

  • Revenue receipts do not create liability.
  • Capital receipts create liability or reduce financial assets.
  • Direct taxes include personal income tax and corporation tax.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Revenue deficit and fiscal deficit mean the same thing.

Budget deficit is the same as fiscal deficit and is still used as the main measure.

Capital receipts are always debt creating.
