The
Comptroller and Auditor-General of India (CAG)
decadal study on state finances reveals that 16 states are in revenue surplus, with
Uttar Pradesh leading the pack.
Key Points
Revenue Surplus States:
The CAG report reveals that 16 states reported a
revenue surplus
in the fiscal year 2023, marking a significant turnaround for states once
considered economically weaker.
Leading the charge is Uttar Pradesh, with a surplus of ₹37,000 crore, a stark contrast to its previous standing as part of the BIMARU states.
BIMARU is an acronym for Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh, a grouping of states that have
historically lagged
in economic and social indicators.
Revenue Deficit States:
Conversely, at least 12 states were found to be in
revenue deficit in 2022-23,
indicating significant fiscal distress.
States like
Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Rajasthan
reported the highest deficits, pointing to a growing reliance on central grants.
States Relying on Central Grants:
Several states are heavily
dependent on central financial su…
