About This Dataset
The dataset provides a breakdown of subsidy allocations and expenditures across key central government schemes. It includes scheme categories such as food and fertilizer subsidies and reports the actual expenditure for FY 2021-2022, budget estimates and revised estimates for FY 2022-2023, and budget estimates for FY 2023-2024. Each record represents a scheme or aggregated category with financial values reported in crores of Indian Rupees.
Data Quality
The dataset is largely structured and consistent. Numeric financial fields are formatted as floating-point values. The 'Sl.No.' column contains missing values for category-level total rows, which appear to represent aggregate totals rather than individual schemes.
Use Cases
Public finance analysis, subsidy expenditure monitoring, fiscal policy research, budget trend analysis, economic policy evaluation, and government spending transparency studies.
Limitations
The dataset does not include detailed scheme descriptions, implementing ministries, geographic breakdowns, or beneficiary counts. Some rows represent aggregated totals rather than individual schemes, which may require filtering during analysis.
Methodology
The data appears to be compiled from official Union Budget expenditure tables published by the Government of India, aggregating subsidy allocations and expenditures across fiscal years.
