Q75 (UPPCS/2023) Economy › Government Finance & Budget

Which one of the following is not true about the total outlay in the Union Budget 2023-24?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D

Explanation

According to the Union Budget 2023-24 "Rupee Goes To" chart, which details the government's expenditure components, the allocations are as follows:

  • Interest Payments: 20% (The largest single item of expenditure)
  • States' share of taxes and duties: 18%
  • Central Sector Schemes: 17%
  • Finance Commission and other transfers: 9%
  • Centrally Sponsored Schemes: 9%
  • Defence: 8%
  • Other Expenditure: 8%
  • Subsidies: 7%
  • Pensions: 4%

The statement in option D is incorrect because the outlay for Subsidies was 7%, not 9%. The 9% figure actually represents the allocation for Centrally Sponsored Schemes and Finance Commission transfers.
