About This Dataset
The data breaks down spending across key areas like Food, Fertiliser, Petroleum (LPG), and various Interest Subvention schemes, offering a clear view of the government's subsidy bill and its allocation across different sectors.
Data Quality
The dataset is based on official budget documents (Statement 11). It is structurally complete, although null values are present in financial columns where specific schemes were inactive or reporting was not required for that cycle. It includes category-wise 'Total' rows and a 'Grand Total' row.
Use Cases
Analyzing national fiscal priorities, tracking the cost of social safety nets, macroeconomic research on agricultural and energy support, and public finance auditing.
Limitations
The dataset provides a high-level summary. Financial units are in local currency (Crores of INR) and represent absolute spending without per-capita normalization.
Methodology
Aggregated from the 'Expenditure Profile' documents of the Union Budget presented to the Indian Parliament.
