or
in what situation iscal deficit is equal to borrowing and why?//
We know that fiscal deficit refers to the difference between the total budget expenditure and total budget receipts of the government, other than the borrowings and liabilities. That is,
Fiscal Deficit = Budget Expenditure – Budget Receipts (other than borrowing and liabilities)
On expanding the above equation we get,
Fiscal Deficit = (Revenue expenditure + Capital Expenditure) – (Revenue receipts + Capital receipts other than borrowings)
or, Fiscal Deficit = (Revenue expenditure + Capital Expenditure) – (Revenue receipts + Recovery of loans + Other receipts)
From this equation we can say that fiscal deficit reflects the total borrowing and other liability requirements of the government.
