The dataset contains fiscal accounting records categorized into incomings and outgoings. Each row represents a financial accounting component such as a deficit on transactions, a net increase in financial liabilities, changes in financial assets, or cash balance adjustments. The columns represent fiscal years from 2000-01 to 2015-16, with values recorded as accounts, revised estimates, or budget projections. This structure allows analysis of fiscal balancing mechanisms and the relationship between deficits and financing sources over time.
The dataset is structurally consistent with clearly defined fiscal year columns and numerical financial values. No missing values were detected across columns. Numeric values appear uniformly formatted, enabling reliable quantitative analysis.
Fiscal deficit analysis, government budget studies, macroeconomic research, time series analysis of public finance, public policy research, and financial accountability reporting.
The dataset does not include explicit units for the financial values or metadata explaining the accounting definitions in detail. Geographic breakdowns and sector-specific classifications are also absent.
The data was likely compiled from official government financial statements and budget documents where fiscal balancing items such as liabilities, financial assets, deficits, and cash adjustments are recorded annually.
