Fiscal deficit until Dec at 55% of annual target

India's fiscal deficit for the first three quarters of the fiscal year reached 55% of the annual target, down from 58.9% the previous year. The fiscal gap until December 2023 stood at ₹9.82 lakh crore, compared to ₹9.92 lakh crore a year earlier. The government maintained control over revenue spending, which eased for the fourth consecutive month in December. Capital spending, however, increased by 37.5% to ₹6.74 lakh crore until December, representing 67.3% of the annual target. The fiscal gap in December alone widened to ₹75,694 crore, more than five times the November level.
