Tax and non-tax revenue collections are crucial for financing development programmes, welfare schemes, and infrastructure projects. The devolution of taxes to states is a constitutional mandate, forming a vital source of funds for state-level spending.
The current levels of expenditure–both capital and revenue–also reflect the government’s efforts to maintain fiscal momentum while meeting key obligations such as interest payments and subsidies.(ANI)
