Fiscal deficit touches 46.2% of annual target till November-end
The deficit figures in the current financial year till November appear much better than the previous financial year when it had soared to 135.1 per cent of the estimates mainly on account of a jump in expenditure to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.
For the current financial year, the government expects the deficit at 6.8 per cent of GDP or Rs 15,06,812 crore. Pic: Pixabay
