2. Revenue deficit refers to the excess of revenue

expenditure over revenue receipts. Effective
revenue deficit is the difference between revenue
deficit and grants for creation of capital assets.
Fiscal deficit is the difference between the revenue
receipts plus non-debt capital receipts and the total
expenditure including loans, net of repayments. This
indicates the total borrowing requirements of
Government from all sources. Primary deficit is
measured by fiscal deficit less interest payments.

3. Budget 2015-16 marks the dawn of

Co-operative federalism and empowerment of the
States. The creation of National Institution of
Transforming India (NITI) and acceptance of 14th
Finance Commissions (FFC) recommendation of
substantially higher devolution of Union taxes to
States are landmarks in this direction. This Budget
marks the beginning of the award period
(2015-2020) of the FFC during which States will be
devolved 42% of the divisible pool of Union taxes
from existing 32%. This enhanced untied resource
available to the States would enable them to address
their specific needs through flexibility in design,
implementation and financing of Programmes and
schemes. This is expected to bring in high growth
and faster development of different regions of the
country contributing to overall National growth. The
idea is to build Team India with stronger States.
The Government firmly believes that India grows
when States grow.

5. Higher devolution to States of the divisible pool

implies that the fiscal space for the Centre shrinks
in the same proportion. Despite these constraints,
the current Central Plan outlay for; Agriculture, Rural
Development, Animal Husbandry, Dairying and
Fisheries, Minority Affairs, Women and Child

7. The enhanced financial empowerment on

account of higher devolution also entails greater
responsibility to States in using these resources for
Socio-economic development. States will have
greater flexibility in designing and running
Programmes and Schemes as per local
requirements and conditions. Government has
decided that it will continue to support State Plans
of national priorities especially those which are
targeted towards Poverty Alleviation and upliftment
of socially disadvantaged groups. Centre will play a
catalytic role in Socio-economic development by
contributing resources to these Programmes.

8. Central Government will continue certain

programmes unaltered as they are either legal/
constitutional obligations, or are privileges available
to the elected representatives for welfare of their
constituents. Further, and more importantly it is
proposed that the Union Government may continue
to support certain programmes which are for the
benefit of socially disadvantaged in an unaltered
manner from its own resources. The indicative list
of such programmes is at Annexure - I.

9.
In respect of some Centrally sponsored schemes,
the sharing pattern will have to undergo a change with
States sharing a higher fiscal responsibility in terms of
scheme implementation and financing. Details of
changes in sharing pattern will have to be worked out
by the administrative Ministry/Department on the
basis of available resources from Union Finances.
Indicative list of schemes, in which sharing pattern
will undergo a change is at Annexure - II.
