Solution
Non-debt creating capital receipts = 50% of Revenue Receipts
= 50% of 20
= 10 crore
Revenue Deficit = Revenue Expenditure − Revenue Receipts
10 = Revenue Expenditure − 20
Revenue Expenditure = 10 + 20
= 30 crore
Total Expenditure = Revenue Expenditure + Capital Expenditure
= 30 + 15
= 45 crore
Fiscal Deficit = Total Expenditure − (Revenue Receipts + Non-debt creating capital receipts)
= 45 − (20 +10)
= 45 − 30
= 15 crore
Primary Deficit = Fiscal Deficit – Interest Payments
= 15 − 4
= 11 crore
