Revenue receipts are divided into tax and non-tax revenue. Tax
revenues are made up of taxes such as income tax, corporate tax, excise,
customs and other duties that the government levies.
The government also has other expenditure like servicing interest on its
borrowings, subsidies, etc.
Types of budget
Usually, expenditure that does not result in the creation of assets, and
grants given to state governments and other parties are revenue
expenditures. The difference between revenue receipts and revenue
expenditure is usually negative. This means that the government spends
more than it earns. This difference is called the revenue deficit.
These are the taxes that are levied on the income of individuals or
organisations. Income tax, corporate tax, inheritance tax are some
instances of direct taxation.
Income tax is the tax levied on individual income from various sources
like salaries, investments, interest etc.
Types of budget
Corporate tax is the tax paid by companies or firms on the incomes they
earn.
Indirect taxes are those paid by consumers when they buy goods and
services. These include excise and customs duties.
Customs duty is the charge levied when goods are imported into the
country, and is paid by the importer or exporter.
This is the gap between the government's total spending and the sum of
its revenue receipts and non-debt capital receipts. It represents the total
amount of borrowed funds required by the government to completely
meet its expenditure.
The government proposals for the levy of new taxes, alterations in the
present tax structure or continuance of the current tax structure beyond
the period approved by Parliament, are laid down before Parliament in
this bill.
The Parliament approves the Finance Bill for a period of one year at a
time, which becomes the Finance Act.

What impact does the Budget have on the market and
economy?
The Budget impacts the economy, the interest rate and the stock
markets. How the finance minister spends and invests money affects the
fiscal deficit. The extent of the deficit and the means of financing it
influence the money supply and the interest rate in the economy. High
interest rates mean higher cost of capital for the industry, lower profits
and hence lower stock prices.
Non-plan expenditure like subsidies and defence also affect the economy
as limited government resources are used for non-productive purposes.
