Budget Insights

Every structured statement of the Union Budget on file, by document and table. Documents:

budget_at_a_glance, receipt_budget, expenditure_profile, frbm (Macro-economic Framework and Medium-Term Fiscal Policy cum Fiscal Policy Strategy statements); plus the virtual names transfers_to_states and fiscal_targets. Each table lists its stable key (from its title, so it survives renumbering), the latest

Read one Budget statement (or a line of it) as rows. ``document``:

budget_at_a_glance | receipt_budget | expenditure_profile | frbm (alias fpss, mtfps) | transfers_to_states. ``table``: the key from budget_statement_catalogue, the number as printed ('Statement 18', 'Annex 6') or title words ('deficit statistics'). ``fy``: which Budget (default latest; 'all' for every Budget). ``column``: actual |

One statement line as a time series across every Budget.

e.g. document='budget_at_a_glance', table='deficit_statistics', line='Fiscal Deficit', column='be' → the BE of each year as its own Budget printed it. ``pick`` defaults to 'own' for be/re/target and 'latest' for actual (Actuals as last revised); 'all' keeps every Budget's figure (vintages). ``measure='pct_gdp'`` gives the per-cent-of-GDP fig

Search every statement line and table title of every Budget on file.

Returns document / table / line with the Budgets that carry it and the exact arguments for budget_statement_series. e.g. 'interest payments', 'devolution', 'GST', 'defence capital'.

Central Government debt as per cent of GDP, as each Budget put it.

From each Budget's Medium-Term Fiscal Policy statement: the BE ratio for the Budget year (with that Budget's own nominal GDP assumption and the debt it implies), the RE ratio for the year before, rolling targets for later years where given, and the medium-term anchor (about 50±1 per cent by 2030-31) from the statement text. ``pick=

The nominal GDP (₹ crore) each Union Budget assumes for its year, with the growth rate and base it was projected from — the denominator of every BE ratio to GDP in that Budget.

FRBM fiscal indicators and targets, keyed by statement vintage and target year.

The 'Fiscal Indicators – Rolling Targets as a percentage of GDP' table of every Budget (fiscal deficit, revenue deficit, primary deficit, gross tax revenue, non-tax revenue, Central Government debt; RE, BE and later-year targets) plus targets stated in the text (debt anchor, FRBM Act ceilings). ``indicator`` filters by

Resources transferred to States and UTs with legislature (Budget at a Glance).

Devolution of States' share in taxes, Finance Commission grants, other important transfers and the total, by Budget, with Actual / RE / BE columns. ``line`` picks one ('Devolution', 'Total Transfer to States'); ``pick='own'`` gives one BE per year from its own Budget.

What the Union Budget's Expenditure Budget spreadsheets on file cover. Without arguments:

every Budget since 2011-12 (full and Interim) with the number of demands read from its Statement of Budget Estimates (sbe), Demands for Grants (dg) and Annual Financial Statement (afs). With ``budget`` and/or ``ministry``: each demand's ministry, department, source workbook URL, line count and the arithmetic

Every line a Budget printed for a demand, exactly as in its spreadsheet (₹ crore).

doc='sbe' (default): the Statement of Budget Estimates — establishment, central sector schemes, centrally sponsored schemes, transfers to States/UTs, each scheme and sub-scheme with Actuals (t-2), BE and RE (t-1) and BE (t), Revenue / Capital / Total (Plan / Non-Plan before 2017-18), and the developmental-head summa

Find a scheme (or any line) in the Statement of Budget Estimates of every Budget.

e.g. 'PM Kisan', 'Jal Jeevan Mission', 'MGNREGA', 'PMAY Gramin', 'Samagra Shiksha', 'fertiliser subsidy'. Each match lists the Budgets that print it (with demand number, department, line code and the BE of that Budget year) and the exact arguments for budget_scheme_series.

One scheme line across every Budget since 2011-12:

each Actual, BE and RE as printed. Rows are ordered by year, then Actual / BE / RE, then the Budget that printed the figure, so the BE of a year (its own Budget), its RE (next Budget) and its Actuals (the Budget after) sit side by side with their sources. Figures are never spliced or chosen between Budgets. ``exact=True`` with ``ministry``/``paren
