Telangana’s actual revenue receipts well behind the budget estimates
A report from the Reserve Bank of India indicates that the Telangana state government has consistently failed to meet its projected revenue receipts over the last three fiscal years. Significant shortfalls, particularly in grants-in-aid, have created a persistent gap between budget estimates and actual financial realizations.
Why it matters
This fiscal discrepancy highlights potential challenges in state-level financial planning and governance, which can impact public service delivery and infrastructure development.
The Telangana State Government is consistently lagging behind in achieving the revenue receipts projected in the budget estimates as could be seen from the figures released by the Reserve Bank of India.
The RBI, in its report related to recommendations on increasing the Ways and Means Advances limit for States, has taken into account revenue receipts of the three consecutive financial years 2022-25. Telangana registered revenue receipts of ₹1.59 lakh crore in 2022-23, ₹1.69 lakh crore in 2023-24 and ₹1.67 lakh crore in 2024-25. The figures for the three years are much lower than the quantum presented in the budget estimates of the three fiscal years.
