4/21


The Fiscal deficit of the Government for FY12 came in at 5.9% as against the budgetedtarget of 4.6%. This was primarily caused by a fall in tax revenue collections and an

increase in subsidy bill combined with the shortfall in the divestment targets

Given the fiscal slippage in FY12, the path of fiscal consolidation has been adverselyaffected. However, no substantial reforms to boost the economic growth have beenannounced in the budget. The Budget 2012-13 has failed to make the much requiredattempt to foster growth by reviving fiscal consolidation.

The Government has budgeted a fiscal deficit target of 5.1% in FY13. It will achieve thistarget by raising its sources of revenue with an increase in excise duty and service tax

across the board. However, its targeted expenditure still remains high. Thus any slippagein its revenue collection or increase in subsidies would make it difficult to achieve thetargeted fiscal deficit of 5.1% in FY13

Some of its move to raise the excise duty and service tax combined with the recentincrement in railway freight charges are broadly inflationary. This in turn wouldpressurize the Central Bank not to reduce the interest rates which in turn would make atoll on the economic growth.
