  1. Capital receipts either create financial liabilities or reduce government financial assets, whereas revenue receipts neither create liabilities nor lead to asset reduction.Cevap
  2. Effective Revenue Deficit is derived by deducting grants-in-aid provided to States and Union Territories for the creation of capital assets from the Revenue Deficit.Cevap
  3. C
    Proceeds raised through the issuance of Sovereign Green Bonds (SGBs) are classified under Revenue Receipts as non-tax revenue and used exclusively for subsidizing private renewable energy firms.
  4. D
    Gross Primary Deficit is computed by adding net interest payments on past public debt to the Gross Fiscal Deficit.

Cevap

The correct statements are that capital receipts either create liabilities or reduce financial assets while revenue receipts do neither, and that Effective Revenue Deficit is calculated by subtracting grants-in-aid for capital asset creation from the total Revenue Deficit.
Capital receipts alter the net liability or asset position of the government, while revenue receipts do not affect liabilities or capital asset stocks. Furthermore, Effective Revenue Deficit specifically removes grants-in-aid meant for capital asset creation from total revenue deficit to reflect actual consumption expenditure.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the classification of government receipts
Capital receipts create debt liabilities or liquidate assets, whereas revenue receipts do not generate liabilities or decrease capital assets.
This is the fundamental accounting definition specified in Union Budget documents and fiscal economics.
2
Evaluate the definition and accounting adjustment for Effective Revenue Deficit
Effective Revenue Deficit equals Revenue Deficit minus Grants-in-aid for creation of capital assets.
Although grants to states are revenue outlay for the Central Government, they build capital assets for states, necessitating this adjustment under the FRBM framework.
3
Verify the budgetary classification of Sovereign Green Bond proceeds
Sovereign Green Bonds represent public debt borrowings and are classified as Capital Receipts, not non-tax Revenue Receipts.
All sovereign borrowing instruments fall under internal debt within Capital Receipts.
4
Verify the formula for Gross Primary Deficit
Primary Deficit is Fiscal Deficit minus Interest Payments, not plus interest payments.
Primary deficit measures fiscal imbalance caused by current policies separate from past debt obligations.
