Fiscal Policy — CONCEPT (Budget, deficit ladder, deficit financing, FRBM, off-budget borrowing, fiscal glide path + Market & Trading Link) | UPSC Economy (AIR-1 Series) ECO-12 ka core chapter: Fiscal Policy — Budget, Deficits aur FRBM (Public Finance). Constitutional dhancha: Article 112 ka Annual Financial Statement, Article 110 Money Bill, Article 266 Consolidated Fund of India aur Public Account, Article 267 Contingency Fund, CAG (Article 148-151).

Budget cycle: Feb 1 presentation (2017 se), Railway Budget ka merger 2017, plan/non-plan ka ant 2017-18, aur FRBM ke teen statements — 2020 prelims ka trap. Revenue vs capital: revenue receipts (tax + non-tax) aur capital receipts (debt-creating: market borrowing, small savings, provident funds, T-bills; non-debt: disinvestment, loan recovery); revenue expenditure vs capital expenditure. Trap — disinvestment non-debt capital receipt hai, aur capital asset banane wala grant capital expenditure (2016 Q234, 2022 Q227). Deficit ladder: revenue deficit = revenue expenditure minus revenue receipts; fiscal deficit = total expenditure minus total receipts (borrowing chhod kar) = total borrowing requirement; primary deficit = FD minus interest payments; effective revenue deficit (2012 se) = RD minus capital-asset grants. Deficit financing: public se udhari, RBI se udhari (monetised deficit) aur external udhari; seigniorage aur inflation tax; ad-hoc treasury bills (1997 me band) se Ways and Means Advances tak; crowding out. FRBM Act 2003 (effective 5 July 2004, Rules 2004): revenue deficit elimination by 2008-09, fiscal deficit 3% of GDP, Section 5 ke tahat RBI se direct udhari par rok (1 April 2006 se), Section 4(2) escape clause (2020-21 me invoke), N.K. Singh Committee 2017 ka debt-GDP anchor (general government 60%, Centre 40%, States 20%) aur Fiscal Council. Off-budget borrowing: FCI, NSSF special securities, oil bonds, SPV/state guarantees; Budget 2021-22 se FCI ka EBR budget me. Fiscal glide path: FY21 9.2%, FY22 6.7%, FY23 6.4%, FY24 RE 5.8%, FY25 RE 4.8%, FY26 BE 4.4% of GDP; naya anchor — debt 50 plus-minus 1% of GDP tak 31 March 2031 (Budget 2025-26 ki ghoshna; latest Budget se verify karein). National-international linkage: IMF Article IV aur fiscal transparency, EU Maastricht ke 3%/60%, sovereign ratings (S&P/Moody's/Fitch), G-sec ka global bond index inclusion, twin deficit, Fed rate cycle se external borrowing cost. Market & Trading Link (2 scenes): fiscal slippage se G-sec supply upar, 10-year yield upar, Nifty de-rate; banks ka MTM loss aur rate-sensitive Bank/NBFC/realty/auto par dabav; INR par slippage plus rating risk (IT/pharma ko fayda, crude importers ko maar); capex push se infra/capital goods/defence theme; calendar — 1 Feb Budget, monthly CGA fiscal data, CPI/IIP, MPC, G-sec borrowing calendar; instruments — 10-year yield, USDINR futures, Nifty Bank/PSE/Infra, gilt funds, IRF.
