Deficits, Debts and FRBM Targets for 2020-21

The Andhra Pradesh Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management (FRBM) Act, 2005 provides annual targets to progressively reduce the outstanding liabilities, revenue deficit and fiscal deficit of the state government.   

Revenue Balance:  It is the difference of revenue expenditure and revenue receipts.   A revenue deficit implies that the government needs to borrow to finance its expenses which do not create capital assets.  Once the revenue deficit is accounted for, only then the borrowings can be used for capital investments.  A revenue surplus implies that the revenue receipts of state are sufficient to meet the revenue expenditure requirements.  The 14th Finance Commission had recommended that states should eliminate revenue deficit.

The budget estimates a revenue deficit of Rs 18,434 crore (or 1.82% of GSDP) in 2020-21.  The 15th Finance Commission has recommended a revenue deficit grant of Rs 5,897 crore for Andhra Pradesh for 2020-21.

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 2020-21, the fiscal deficit is estimated to be Rs 48,296 crore (4.78% of GSDP).  The estimate is higher than the 3% limit as per the FRBM Act.

Given the situation due to COVID-19 pandemic, the central government has permitted increasing the fiscal deficit limit for a state from 3% to 5% in 2020-21.  This 5% includes an unconditional increase of the limits up to 3.5% of GSDP, followed by 0.25% increase each linked to reforms on: (i) universalisation of ‘one nation one ration card’, (ii) ease of doing business, (iii) power distribution and (iv) urban local body revenues.  An additional increase of 0.5% will be permitted if three out of four reforms are achieved.

As per the revised estimates, in 2019-20, the fiscal deficit of the state is expected to be 3.75% of GSDP, higher than the budget estimate at 3.26%.

Debt Servicing

In 2020-21, Andhra Pradesh is expected to spend Rs 34,318 crore on servicing its debt.  This is 3.1% less than the revised estimates of 2019-20.  This includes Rs 13,935 crore towards repaying loans (41% of total), and Rs 20,383 crore towards interest payments (59% of total).  

Outstanding liabilities:  Outstanding liabilities is the accumulation of borrowings over the years.  In 2020-21, the outstanding liabilities are expected to be 34.6% of the GSDP, higher than that in 2019-20 (28% of GSDP).  This is higher than the average level of outstanding liabilities of 29 states in 2019-20 (24.6% of their 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.  For example, state governments guarantee the borrowings of State Public Sector Enterprises (SPSEs) from financial institutions.  The total outstanding government guarantees of the state at the end of 2019-20 is estimated at Rs 67,171 crore (6% of GSDP).

Annexure 2:  Recommendations of the 15th Finance Commission for 2020-21

The 15th Finance Commission’s (15th FC) report for the financial year 2020-21 was tabled in Parliament on February 1, 2020.  The 15th FC recommended a 41% share for states in the central government’s tax revenue in 2020-21, a 1% decrease from the 42% share recommended by the 14th FC (2015-20).  The 1% decrease is to provide funds to the newly formed union territories of Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh from the share of the central government.  The 15th FC also proposed revised criteria for determining the share of individual states.

Table 7 shows the share of states in the central government's tax revenue[3], as per the recommendations of the 14th FC for 2015-20 and the 15th FC for 2020-21.  The 15th FC has recommended a 1.69% share for Andhra Pradesh in the centre’s tax revenue for 2020-21 (a decrease of 7% over the 14th FC period).  This implies that out of every Rs 100 of centre’s tax revenue in 2020-21, Andhra Pradesh will receive Rs 1.69.  Table 7 also shows the estimated devolution to states by the centre for 2019-20 and 2020-21 (in Rs crore).
