Option 2: Effective revenue deficit - The effective revenue deficit is a measure that takes into account the revenue deficit and grants for creation of capital assets.

Option 3: Fiscal deficit - The fiscal deficit is the difference between the government`s total expenditure and its total revenue, including borrowing and loans.
