The total receipts are expected to be Rs 26,907.08 crore comprising Revenue Receipts of Rs
19845.17 crore and Capital Receipts of Rs 7,061.91 crore. The total expenditure is
estimated to be Rs 26,839.43 crore out of which revenue expenditure will be Rs 21,980.50
crore and capital expenditure will be Rs 4,858.93 crore.
Apart from major taxes, which have already been covered in my speech, the Government
expects to raise Rs 1,814.40 crore from Small Savings, Rs 973.51 crore from market
borrowings (net), Rs 522 crore from negotiated loans and Rs 2,931.50 crore as total loans
from the Central Government. The Revenue Deficit works out to Rs 2135.32 crore and the
Fiscal Deficit works out to Rs 6,032.79 crore.
With these estimates, an overall surplus of Rs 67.66 crore is expected for the year.
Taking into account the opening balance of Rs (-)173.34 crore, the closing balance is
estimated to be Rs (-)105.68 crore. I hope to cover this deficit through expenditure
control and fiscal management during the year. I now commend the Budget Estimates 2003-04
for the consideration of the House. The entire budget will be discussed on the floor of
the House. I now seek approval of the full budget for 2003-2004.
