Committed expenditure: Committed expenditure of a state typically includes expenditure towards payment of salaries, pension, and interest. A larger proportion of the budget allocated for committed expenditure items limits the state’s flexibility to decide on its other expenditure priorities such as capital investment. In 2020-21, Maharashtra is estimated to spend Rs 1,91,451 crore on committed expenditure, i.e. payment of salaries, pension, and interest (equivalent to 55% of the state’s revenue receipts). This implies that the state has 45% of its revenue receipts remaining for all other kinds of expenditure. Any additional expenditure will be met through borrowings. On average, 50% of the revenue receipts of a state are spent on committed expenditure.
In 2020-21, committed expenditure is expected to increase by 7.6% as compared to the revised estimate of 2019-20. Expenditure on interest payment is expected to increase by Rs 1,358 crore (4%).

Receipts in 2020-21
- The total revenue receipts for 2020-21 are estimated to be Rs 3,47,457 crore, an increase of 12.1% over the revised estimate of 2019-20. Of this, Rs 2,45,577 crore (71% of the revenue receipts) will be raised through state’s own resources, and Rs 1,01,880 crore (29% of the revenue receipts) will be in the form of central transfers, i.e. state’s share in central taxes and grants-in-aid from the central government.
- Devolution: In 2020-21, receipts from the state’s share in central taxes is estimated to increase by 32.8% over the revised estimate of 2019-20. In 2019-20, devolution is estimated to decrease by 22.3% to Rs 36,220 crore as compared to the budgeted estimate. This may be due to a 19% cut in the Union Budget for devolution to states, from Rs 8,09,133 crore at the budgeted stage to Rs 6,56,046 crore at the revised stage. Annexure 2 outlines the major recommendations of the 15th Finance Commission for the year 2020-21, particularly the revised share of Maharashtra and the other states in central government’s tax revenue.

- Own tax revenue: Total own tax revenue of Maharashtra is estimated to be Rs 2,25,071 crore in 2020-21 (65% of the revenue receipts). This is 12.8% higher than the revised estimate of 2019-20. The own tax to GSDP ratio is targeted at 7% in 2020-21, which is marginally higher than the revised estimate of 6.9% in 2019-20. This implies that growth in state’s tax collections is expected to be marginally higher than the GSDP growth rate.

GST Compensation: The GST (Compensation to States) Act, 2017 guarantees states compensation for five years (till 2022) for any revenue loss arising due to GST implementation. The Act guarantees states a 14% annual growth on their revenue which was subsumed under GST. If the GST revenue of a state does not match the guaranteed growth, compensation grants are provided to meet the shortfall. Maharashtra has estimated GST compensation grants of Rs 10,000 crore for 2020-21, a 43.8% decrease over the 2019-20 revised estimate. In 2019-20, it expects compensation grants of Rs 17,790 crore, which is 114% higher than the Rs 8,330 crore received in 2018-19. An increase in compensation requirement of the state reflects a further decrease in GST revenue growth rate, as compared to the 14% growth proposed under the Act. |

Deficits, Debt, and FRBM Targets for 2020-21
The Maharashtra Fiscal Responsibility and Budgetary Management Rules, 2006 provides annual targets to progressively reduce the outstanding debt, fiscal deficit, and revenue deficit of the state government.
Revenue deficit: It is the excess of revenue expenditure over revenue receipts. A revenue deficit implies that the government needs to borrow in order 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, on the other hand, implies that revenue receipts are expected to be higher than revenue expenditure. It provides surplus funds to the state, which can be used for capital investments or repayment of loans. Note that revenue surplus over a long-term period may also indicate inadequate revenue expenditure by the state.
The budget estimates a revenue deficit of Rs 9,511 crore in 2020-21 (or 0.29% of GSDP). This is lower than the revenue deficit of Rs 31,443 crore (or 1.09% of GSDP), as per the revised estimate of 2019-20 . This implies that the state has not met the 14th Finance Commission’s recommendation of eliminating revenue deficit. The 15th Finance Commission has not suggested any revenue deficit grants for the state.
Debt Servicing: In 2020-21, Maharashtra is expected to spend Rs 65,231 crore on servicing its debt. This is 8.2% higher than the revised estimate for 2019-20. This includes Rs 29,700 crore towards repayment of loans, and Rs 35,531 crore towards interest payments. |
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 debt. In 2020-21, fiscal deficit is estimated to be Rs 54,618 crore, which is 1.69% of GSDP. The estimate is within the 3% limit recommended by the 14th Finance Commission. In 2019-20, fiscal deficit is estimated to be Rs 78,617 crore (2.73% of GSDP), which is Rs 55,601 crore higher than the fiscal deficit of Rs 23,015 crore in 2018-19 (0.87% of GSDP).
Outstanding debt: Outstanding debt is the accumulation of borrowings taken by the state government over the years. At the end of the year 2020-21, the state’s outstanding debt is expected to be 16.2% of GSDP. This is lower than the limit of 20% of GDP suggested by the FRBM Review Committee (2017) for the cumulative debt of all states.

Annexure 2: 15th Finance Commission’s recommendations 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 8 shows the share of states in the central government's tax revenue [†], as per the recommendations of the 14th FC for 2015-20 and the 15th FC for 2020-21. The 15th FC has recommended a 2.52% share for the state in the centre’s tax revenue for 2020-21 (9% higher than the share recommended by the 14th FC for 2015-20). This implies that out of every Rs 100 of centre’s tax revenue in 2020-21, Maharashtra will receive Rs 2.52. Table 8 also shows the estimated devolution to states by the centre for 2019-20 and 2020-21 (in Rs crore).
