Budget 2015­2016 INTRODUCTION

Credibility of Indian economy has been re­established in the last nine months Indian economy about to take­off on a fast growth trajectory Most growth forecasts have upgraded Indian economic growth while downgrading global

economic growth Economically empowered States are equal partners to Indian economic growth. After inheriting an economy with sentiments of “doom and gloom” with adverse

macroeconomic indicators, nine months have seen at turn around, making India fastest growing large economy in the World with a real GDP growth expected to be 7.4% (New Series).

Three key achievement

Financial Inclusion ­ 12.5 crores families financially mainstreamed in 100 days. Transparent Coal Block auctions to augment resources of the States Game changing reforms on the anvil:

♦ Goods and Service Tax (GST) ♦ Jan Dhan, Aadhar and Mobile (JAM) ­ for direct benefit transfer. FISCAL ROADMAP

Government firm on journey to achieve fiscal target of 3% of GDP. Realistic figures shown in fiscal account without showing exaggerated revenue projections. With improved economy, pressure to accelerate fiscal consolidation too has decreased. Accordingly, journey for fiscal deficit target of 3% will be achieved in 3 years rather than 2

years. The fiscal deficit targets are 3.9%, 3.5% and 3.0% in FY 2015­16, 2016­17 & 2017­18 respectively.

Additional fiscal space will go to funding infrastructure investment. Need to view public finances from a National perspective and not just the perspective of the Central Government. Aggregate public expenditure of the Governments, as a whole can be expected to rise substantially
