According to the data released by the Controller General of Accounts, during the period under review the total expenditure of the government was over Rs.5.03 lakh crore or 28.1 percent of the entire year estimates.

The fiscal deficit was over Rs 5.08 lakh crore or 4.5 percent of the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) in 2013-14.
