Key Topics to Revise

1

Concept and Components of Public Finance

  • Public finance deals with the income and expenditure of public authorities like central, state, and local governments.
  • It includes three main components: public revenue, public expenditure, and public debt.
  • Modern governments use public finance to transform from a police state to a welfare state.
2

Public Revenue: Tax and Non-Tax Sources

  • Public revenue is classified into tax revenue and non-tax revenue.
  • Tax revenue includes direct taxes (like income tax) and indirect taxes (like GST, excise duty).
  • Non-tax revenue includes administrative fees, commercial profits (from PSUs), loans, and grants-in-aid.
3

Public Expenditure and Public Debt

  • Public expenditure refers to government spending on infrastructure, welfare, salaries, subsidies, etc.
  • It boosts income and employment in the economy.
  • Public debt arises when government spending exceeds revenue and borrowing becomes necessary.
4

Centre-State Financial Relations and Federal Finance

  • India follows a federal system where financial powers are divided between Centre and States.
  • The Constitution (Articles 268–281) defines tax powers: Centre taxes on corporations, customs; States on sales, land, vehicles.
  • States are financially dependent, so Centre provides grants-in-aid and shares tax revenue.
