What is fiscal deficit?—
The fiscal deficit is the difference between total revenue and total expenditure of the central government. If expenditure exceeds income, the government borrows to cover the gap. But debt is not shown in income.
The proposed budget for the current financial year i.e. FY23 is a total of Rs 3944157 crore. This money is allocated as per requirement.
If the amount allocated is more than the proposed expenditure, the center has to take a loan.
