Question

With the increase in income, both consumption and savings increase.

Short Note

Solution

Lord J.M: Keynes explains the relationship between consumption (C) and income (Y), in terms of his psychological law of consumption. According to this law, as aggregate income increases, the total consumption expenditure in the economy also increases, but in a lesser proportion than the increase in income. In other words the proportion of income spent on consumption goes on falling as income increases.
This is because as income increases, the individual wants are satisfied to a larger and larger extent. So when income increases further, people do not consume the entire income. They save a part of it. Hence, there is bound to be a gap between income and consumption. According to Keynes, with the increase in income, both consumption and savings increase.

Corona has slowed down the economy Lockdown imposed to contain the spread of Corona virus had resulted in closure of manufacturing and business activities. During this financial year, the economy is expected to move towards a contractionary phase rather than expansionary phase. This has been stated in the budget. This is the first paperless budget in the history of India. At the same time, it is the third post-independence budget to be presented at a time when the economy is shrinking. The budget shows a fiscal deficit of more than 5%.

The Union Finance Minister has presented a budget that seeks to accelerate the economy by balancing the impact of Corona on the economy on one hand and growing expectations of all sectors on the other. A significant increase in the allocation for Healthcare by 137% is a feature of this budget. In this budget, the expected revenue for the year 212-2022 is Rs. 34,35, 000crore and the expected expenditure is Rs. 35,83, 000 crore.

Attempts have been made to boost infrastructure, education, agricultural production, employment generation and industry, but the Income tax status quo has remained the same. The budget provides Rs.16.5 lakh crore for agricultural credit, Rs. 223,000 crore for health facilities, Rs. 3 lakh crore for Power Distribution Scheme, Rs. 15,700 crore for Small and Medium Enterprises and Rs. 20,000 crore for Government Bank Capital.
