PASSAGE
Corona has slowed down the economy Lockdown imposed to contain the spread of Corona virus had resulted in closure of manufacturing and business activities. During this financial year, the economy is expected to move towards a contractionary phase rather than expansionary phase. This has been stated in the budget. This is the first paperless budget in the history of India. At the same time, it is the third post-independence budget to be presented at a time when the economy is shrinking. The budget shows a fiscal deficit of more than 5%.
The Union Finance Minister has presented a budget that seeks to accelerate the economy by balancing the impact of Corona on the economy on one hand and growing expectations of all sectors on the other. A significant increase in the allocation for Healthcare by 137% is a feature of this budget. In this budget, the expected revenue for the year 212-2022 is Rs. 34,35, 000crore and the expected expenditure is Rs. 35,83, 000 crore.
Attempts have been made to boost infrastructure, education, agricultural production, employment generation and industry, but the Income tax status quo has remained the same. The budget provides Rs.16.5 lakh crore for agricultural credit, Rs. 223,000 crore for health facilities, Rs. 3 lakh crore for Power Distribution Scheme, Rs. 15,700 crore for Small and Medium Enterprises and Rs. 20,000 crore for Government Bank Capital.
- What is the percentage increase in the provision for Healthcare? (1 mark)
- Mention the sectors that have been promoted in this budget. (1 mark)
- Express your personal opinion based on the above information regarding the budget ( 2 marks)
Solution
- The percentage increase in the provision for healthcare is 137%.
- The sectors that have been promoted in the budget are healthcare, infrastructure, education, agricultural production, employment generation and industry.
- In the budget, the expected expenditure is more than the expected revenue (i.e. ₹ 35.33 lakh crores > ₹ 34.35 lakh crores). So, this is a deficit budget. A deficit budget is the right approach to revive the economy from the slowdown that it faced in the previous year during Covid pandemic. A deficit budget leads to an increase in effective demand for goods and services and leads to an increase in employment & investment which is beneficial for the economy.
