Set Location: Prime Minister's Office (PMO), New Delhi.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is busy uploading (un)funny photos in his facebook album and tagging random friends in them to get more “likes”. Vijay Kelkar makes an entry in his office.
Kelkar
Sir, the expert reports suggest that fiscal deficit will be around 6 percent for 2012-13. This is very dangerous; you need do fiscal consolidation immediately!
Mohan
Ya but what is fiscal deficit and why is it dangerous?
Kelkar
What? you're an economist and yet you don't know what is fiscal deficit?
Mohan
Well I was an economist. But I didn't maintain notes and I did not revise the standard reference books either, so I'm unable to recall the concepts right now, just like a no0b player of UPSC.
Kelkar
Well fiscal deficit (FD) = Budgetary Deficit + Market borrowing + other liabilities of Government
Mohan
Please Explain in English, from the very beginning.
Kelkar
Ok then let us start from the beginning.Every year, the Government puts out a plan for its income and expenditure for the coming year. This is, called annual Union Budget and you need to get it approved by the parliament.
Mohan
Side question: why do I need to get it approved by the parliament?
Kelkar
Because Article 112 of the Constitution says so!
Mohan
OMG
😛 😛
Can anyone tell me whether RBI has issued the admit cards or exam dates ?
