The Public Rupee

Monthly Fiscal Tracker

Receipts, expenditure and deficits as the Controller General of Accounts reports them each month, cumulative from April and measured against the year's annual target.

Covers
April–May 2026–27

Total receipts excluding borrowings

Revenue receipts plus non-debt capital receipts. CGA's monthly accounts call this "Total Receipts (1+4)"; it is not the same as Budget at a Glance's total receipts, which include borrowings.

In the month

Each month on its own, differenced out of the cumulative column — CGA does not publish a monthly figure. April is the cumulative figure itself.

Figures in ₹ lakh crore where they exceed one lakh crore, ₹ crore below it, exactly as the underlying documents report them. A month with no entry has not been published yet.

Same month, year on year

Every year at the same point in its own year, as a share of that year's target. Percentages are compared rather than rupee amounts, because a larger Budget would otherwise read as faster spending.

A year's target is its Revised Estimate once published, and its Budget Estimate before that — the column says which. CGA switches its own comparison the same way partway through a year.
