Public finance studies government revenue, expenditure, and debt management. The center and states raise funds via taxes, market borrowings, and external loans. Debt sustainability rests on prudent fiscal consolidation—if deficits are high over time, interest payments can crowd out development expenditure. Key metrics include debt-to-GDP ratio and interest coverage. The FRBM Act imposes rules to keep deficits within targets. In exam contexts, be ready to assess how large debt affects inflation, currency stability, and growth. Also highlight the role of zero-based budgeting or outcome budgeting to ensure efficient resource allocation.
