उत्तर
Revenue deficit means the excess of revenue expenditure of the government over its revenue receipts.
Revenue deficit = Revenue expenditure − Revenue receipts
Revenue deficit is indicated to the government as follows:
- Regular receipts of the government are not enough to meet regular expenditures.
- The government is using up savings of other sectors of the economy to meet its consumption expenditure.
- This gives a signal to either reduce its expenditure or increase its revenue. Curtail expenditure by taking steps to avoid unproductive expenses and increase revenue from various sources of tax and non-tax revenues
