Note: BE is Budget Estimates; RE is Revised Estimates.  Negative revenue balance indicates revenue deficit, positive indicates surplus.  For arriving at fiscal deficit, the state government has included public account receipts as non-debt capital receipts, and treated special loan from centre for capex as grants.  This leads to a lower fiscal deficit.  For our calculations, public account receipts have not been considered.

Expenditure in 2024-25

  • Revenue expenditure for 2024-25 is proposed to be Rs 1,24,840 crore, a decrease of 2% from the revised estimate of 2023-24.  Expenditure at the revised stage in 2023-24 increased by 24%.  Revenue expenditure includes expenditure on salaries, pensions, interest, grants, and subsidies.

  • Capital outlay for 2024-25 is proposed to be Rs 22,300 crore, an increase of 5% over the revised estimate of 2023-24.  Capital outlay indicates the expenditure towards creation of assets.

Pension Expenditure 

In 2024-25, Chhattisgarh has budgeted to Rs 7,737 crore (6% of its revenue receipts) on pensions.  In 2022-23, Chhattisgarh announced re-implementation of the Old Pension Scheme (OPS). 

In the medium term, states which revert to OPS may see a decrease in their pension expenditure, since they no longer have to provide contributions under the New Pension Scheme.  However, effects of entering the OPS will become visible when new employees retire. 

Chhattisgarh has provided estimates on pension expenditure until 2034-35.  It is estimated to spend Rs 32,793 crore on pensions in 2034-35, an annual growth of 13% from 2022-23.

Committed expenditure: Committed expenditure of a state typically includes expenditure on payment of salaries, pensions, and interest.  A larger proportion of budget allocated for committed expenditure items limits the state’s flexibility to decide on other expenditure priorities such as capital outlay.  In 2024-25, Chhattisgarh is estimated to spend Rs 50,624 crore on committed expenditure, which is 40% of its estimated revenue receipts.  This comprises spending on salaries (28% of revenue receipts), pension (6%), interest payments (6%).  In 2022-23, as per actual figures, 41% of revenue receipts were spent towards committed expenditure.

Deficits, Debt, and FRBM Targets for 2024-25

The Chhattisgarh Fiscal Responsibility Act, 2005 provides annual targets to progressively reduce the outstanding liabilities, revenue deficit and fiscal deficit of the state government.

Revenue surplus:  It is the difference of revenue expenditure and revenue receipts.   A revenue deficit implies that the government needs to borrow to finance those expenses which do not increase its assets or reduces its liabilities.  The budget estimates a revenue surplus of Rs 1,060 crore (or 0.2% of the GSDP) in 2024-25.  This implies that the government’s borrowings will fund expenditure on creation of assets or reducing liabilities. 

In 2023-24, while the state had initially budgeted a revenue surplus of 0.7% (Rs 3,500 crore), at the revised stage it estimates a revenue deficit of 3.1% of the GSDP (Rs 15,670 crore).  The deficit is mainly on account of a 24% increase in the revenue expenditure, compared to a 5% increase in the revenue receipts, at the revised stage.  Revenue expenditure was primarily driven by an increased spending in the agriculture and allied activities at the revised stage (70% over the budgeted estimates). 

Fiscal deficit:  It is the excess of total expenditure over total receipts.  This gap is filled by borrowings by the government and leads to an increase in total liabilities.  In 2024-25, the fiscal deficit is estimated to be 3.2% of GSDP.  For 2024-25, the central government has permitted fiscal deficit of up to 3.5% of GSDP to states, of which 0.5% of GSDP will be available only upon carrying out certain power sector reforms. 

The fiscal deficit is estimated to be 6.5% of GSDP at the revised stage in 2023-24.  This is higher than the budget estimate of 3%.  The higher fiscal deficit may be due to a 22% increase in total expenditure, and a 0.6% decrease in the GSDP.  Fiscal deficit is projected to be lowered to 3% of GSDP by 2026-27.  

Note that states can transfer unutilised borrowing from 2021-22 onwards in future years.  Chhattisgarh’s fiscal deficit was 1.5% and 1% on 2021-22 and 2022-23, respectively.

Debt sustainability 

As per the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), debt of a state can be considered to be sustainable when: (i) the growth rate of public debt is lower than nominal GSDP growth and (ii) growth rate of GSDP is higher than the effective interest rate.  Between 2017-18 and 2020-21, the growth rate of Chhattisgarh’s debt was consistently higher than growth in nominal GSDP.  In 2024-25, outstanding liabilities are estimated to grow at 9%, while the GSDP is estimated to grow at 11%.  

Chhattisgarh’s outstanding liabilities are estimated to be 25% of GSDP, higher than the 20% suggested by the FRBM Review Committee.   

Outstanding liabilities:  Outstanding liabilities is the accumulation of total borrowings at the end of a financial year, it also includes any liabilities on public account.  At the end of 2024-25, the outstanding liabilities are estimated to be 25.4% of GSDP, lower than the revised estimate for 2023-24 (25% of GSDP).

Outstanding Government Guarantees: Outstanding liabilities of states do not include a few other liabilities that are contingent in nature, which states may have to honour in certain cases.  State governments guarantee the borrowings of State Public Sector Enterprises (SPSEs) from financial institutions.  As of December 31, 2023, the state’s outstanding guarantee is estimated to be Rs 22,463 crore, which is 4% of Chhattisgarh’s GSDP in 2022-23.   About 65% of these guarantees have been given to the food sector.  The central government has suggested that states fix a ceiling of 0.5% of the GSDP for additional guarantees during a financial year.

Annexure 1:  Comparison of states’ expenditure on key sectors

The graphs below compare Chhattisgarh’s expenditure in 2024-25 on six key sectors as a proportion of its total expenditure on all sectors.  The average for a sector indicates the average expenditure in that sector by 31 states (including Chhattisgarh) as per their budget estimates of 2023-24. [1]

  • Education: Chhattisgarh has allocated 17.2% of its expenditure on education in 2024-25.  This is higher than the average allocation for education by states in 2023-24 (14.7%).
  • Health:  Chhattisgarh has allocated 7.1%% of its total expenditure towards health, which is higher than the average allocation for health by states (6.2%).
  • Rural development:  Chhattisgarh has allocated 5% of its expenditure on rural development.  This is similar to the average allocation for rural development by states (5%).
  • Urban development:  Chhattisgarh has allocated 3.6% of its expenditure towards urban development.   This is higher than the average allocation towards urban development by states (3.4%).
  • Agriculture:  Chhattisgarh has allocated 15.9% of its total expenditure towards agriculture, which is significantly higher than the average expenditure on agriculture by states (5.9%).
  • Energy:  Chhattisgarh has allocated 4.9% of its total expenditure towards energy, which is higher than the average allocation by states (4.7%).
