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.
