RE: Revised Estimates.                            BE: Budget Estimates.
* Revenue deficit net of interest payments.
# Represents conventional budget deficit prior to 1997-98. With discontinuation of the ad hoc treasury bills and 91-day tap treasury bills, the concept of conventional budget deficit has lost its relevance since April 1,1997.
@ Variation over end-March, as per RBI records, after closure of Government accounts.
Note:  
1. Negative (-) sign indicates surplus.
2. Since 1999-00, gross fiscal deficit excludes States’ share in small savings as per the new system of accounting.
Also see Notes on Tables.
