Primary Revenue Expenditure<br />

Tax Revenues<br />

Starting from mid eighties, the fiscal situation remained quite unsatisfactory until<br />

the mid-years of the current decade. The combined revenue deficit increased from about<br />

2 percent of GDP in 1985-86 to 7.5 percent in 2002-03. After that it started declining <strong>and</strong><br />

reached 2.25 percent in 2006-07. As far as revenue deficit of states is concerned, it<br />

exceeded one percent of GDP only during 1996-97 to 2004-05. It is only the centre‟s<br />

revenue deficit which contributes significantly to the combined revenue deficit from early<br />

eighties (Chart 1.11).<br />
