Fiscal policy involves government spending, taxation, and borrowing to steer the economy. In India, the annual Union Budget outlines revenue and expenditure plans, revealing priorities for sectors like infrastructure, agriculture, and social welfare. Concepts like revenue deficit, fiscal deficit, and primary deficit are central to gauging fiscal health. The Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management (FRBM) Act sets targets to maintain fiscal discipline. Exam readiness requires clarity on how changes in tax structures—like GST—and public spending shape economic growth, plus an understanding of how deficits are managed through market borrowings and bond issuances.
