1. Calculate Gross Tax Revenue

a. Rs 3800 Crores
b. Rs 4300 Crores
c. Rs 4600 Crores

Ans - c
.............................................

2. Calculate Net Tax revenue

a. Rs 2900 Crores
b. Rs 3700 Crores
c. Rs 4000 Crores
d. Rs 4600 Crores

Ans - b
.............................................

Solution :

1. Gross Tax revenue = Corporation Tax + Income tax + other tax & duties + costoms + union excise duties + service Tax + taxes on union territories
= 1000+800+600+800+600+500+300
= 4600 Crores

2. Net Tax Revenue = Gross tax revenue - NCCD transferred to the National Calamity Contingency fund - state share
= 4600-300-600
= 3700 Crores

Ans - b

2. Calculate Gross National Disposable Income

a. 280 crore
b. 310 crore
c. 330 crore
d. 355 crore

Ans - d

Explanation :

1. Net Domestic Product at Factor Cost = Private final consumption expenditure + Government final consumption expenditure + Net domestic capital formation + Net exports – Indirect taxes + Subsidies
= Rs. 250 crore + Rs. 50 crore + Rs. 30 crore + (–) Rs. 10 crore – Rs. 20 crore + Rs. 10 crore
= Rs. 310 crore

2. Gross National Disposable Income = NDPFC + Net current transfers from abroad + Net indirect taxes + Consumption of fixed capital + Net factor income from abroad
= Rs. 310 crore + (–) Rs. 5 crore + ( Rs. 20 crore – Rs. 10 crore) + Rs. 25 crore + Rs. 15 crore
= Rs. 310 crore – Rs. 5 crore + Rs. 10 crore + Rs. 25 crore + Rs. 15 crore
= Rs. 355 crore

d. Rs. 40 Arab

Ans - a

2. Find out the Fiscal deficit

a. Rs. 20 Arab
b. Rs. 25 Arab

Ans - c

3. Find out the Primary deficit

a. Rs. 20 Arab
b. Rs. 25 Arab
c. Rs. 35 Arab
d. Rs. 40 Arab

Ans - b

Solution

1. Revenue Deficit = Revenue Expenditure – Revenue Receipts
= 100 - 80
= Rs. 20 Arab

2. Fiscal Deficit = [Revenue Expenditure + Capital Expenditure] – [Revenue Receipt + Capital Receipt Net of Borrowing]
= (100 + 110) - (80 + 95)
= 210 - 175
= Rs. 35 Arab

3. Primary Deficit = Fiscal Deficit – Interest Payments
= 35 - 10
= Rs. 25 Arab
