Why should there be no Revenue Deficit Revenue Deficit implies that the Revenue Expenditure of the State is greater than the Revenue Receipts. The State borrows to meet even the current expenditure Basic Principle: borrowings should never fund current expenditure but should be used only for Capital Expenditure Growth depends on the Savings made by Household Sector and Public Sector, Revenue Deficit indicates the extent to which State Government eats into the household and private savings to meet its current expenditure – RD is detrimental for growth For growth, even government should generate (revenue) surplus and use it for capital expenditure

Why should Fiscal Deficit be restricted? Fiscal deficit is the difference between the total expenditure and the non-debt receipts which is met by borrowings Fiscal Deficit per se is not bad provided –It is kept within a sustainable limit –There is no revenue component Excessive fiscal deficit implies more borrowings leading to higher interest payments which would crowd out development expenditure in future Fiscal Deficit causes intergenerational inequity and thus governments need to be cautious
