Q38 (UPPCS/2023) Economy › Government Finance & Budget

Which of the following (Union Budget Departments 2023-24 - Allocation amount approx. ₹ ) is correctly matched?

Explanation

In the Union Budget 2023-24, the total allocation for the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) was ₹ 89,155 crore (Budget Estimate). This total is distributed between two departments:

  • Department of Health and Family Welfare: Allocated ₹ 86,175 crore.
  • Department of Health Research: Allocated ₹ 2,980 crore.

Additionally, the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY), the insurance component of Ayushman Bharat, was allocated ₹ 7,200 crore, which was a 12% increase over the previous year's revised estimates. Therefore, option B is the only correctly matched pair. Option A is incorrect as the allocation for Health Research was ₹ 2,980 crore; option C is incorrect as the Department of Health and Family Welfare received ₹ 86,175 crore; and option D is incorrect as PM-JAY was allocated ₹ 7,200 crore.
