Accumulation of fiscal deficit . Stands at 82 % of GDP.

# An example for a country : Gross Domestic Product (GDP) =Rs.1,00,000/ Rev. Receipts =Rs.10,000/1) Rev. Expenditure w/o interest =Rs.15,000/-- Interest payments ( Cap+Rev) =Rs.3000/2) Capital expenditure =Rs.2000/ Total Expenditure 1 + 2 = Rs.20,000/# Fiscal deficit ( Rs.20000 Rs.10000 ) = Rs.10,000/( 10 % of GDP ) # Revenue deficit ( Rs.18000-Rs.10000) = Rs.8000/( 8 % of GDP) # Primary deficit ( Rs .17000-Rs.10000 ) =Rs.7000/( 7 % of GDP )

DEFICITS IN GOI 2011-12 BUDGET

Fiscal deficit : Rs.4.13lac crores.(4.6 % of GDP) Revenue deficit : Rs. 3.07 lac crore.( 3.4 % of GDP ) Primary deficit : Rs. 1.44 lac crores.( 1.6 % of GDP )

# Average annual GDP growth ( % ) 1900-1950 = 1 1950-1980 = 3.5. 1980-2002 = 6 2002-2007 = 8.9 2008-2009 = 6 # Population growth (1 %): 1901-1950 = 1 1951-1990 = 2 1991-2000 = 1.8 2001-2010 = 1.5

# Literacy rates (%) 1950 = 17 1980 = 52 2000 = 65 2010 = 80 ( projected ) # Poverty (%) 1980 = 46 2000 = 26 2010 = 16 # Per Capita income ( PPP ) 1980 = Rs.53,000 per year 2010 =Rs.1,38,000 per year

# Value Added Tax (VAT) and Central Value Added Tax (CENVAT): Prevents cascading effects of taxation or tax on tax. # An example :
A " manufactures cotton cloth from raw cotton bought at Rs.100/ kg . Excise duty( ED ) on raw cotton- 10 % . A' s input landed cost is Rs.110/( Basic price of Rs.100/- + ED of Rs.10/- )

# VAT & CENVAT Cont.

His cost of production including profit margin is 90/- kg. His basic selling price is ,therefore, Rs.200/ kg ( Rs.110/-+ Rs.90/- ).Let us assume that ED on cotton cloth is 10% In case there is no CENVAT , A's final price

for the customer will Rs.220/- kg ( Rs.200 +

ED of 10% )

# VAT & CCENVAT Cont. In a CENVAT situation -- A is allowed to take credit for the excise duty he has paid on his input of Raw cotton .In this case it is Rs.10/ The selling price can be reduced to Rs.190 ( Rs.200 minus credit of Rs.10/- paid as ED on raw cotton ) His final price will be Rs.209/-( Basic Price of Rs.190/- + ED of 10 % )

# Due to CENVAT,customer does not pay: The ED paid by A on his input of raw cotton, i.e., Rs.10/kg Nor the cascading effect of paying ED on ED.i.e10 %( ED on A's final product ) on ED of Rs.10/- paid by A on his input of raw cotton. However no legal binding on the seller to pass on this benefit to the customer.
