About This Dataset
Market loans dominate as the key source of funds, showing a consistent upward trend across the years. External debt and small savings fluctuate, while treasury bills and miscellaneous receipts show high volatility, including negative balances. Repayments of loans steadily rise, but net financial liabilities continue to expand, reflecting fiscal dependence on borrowings.
Data Quality
The dataset contains complete records with no missing values across all columns. Numeric fields appear consistently formatted as floating-point values representing financial amounts. Year labels are consistent with fiscal accounting periods, although one column name slightly differs in formatting (2013-14-Account vs others labeled Accounts).
Use Cases
Public finance analysis, government liability trend analysis, fiscal policy evaluation, economic research, and financial forecasting related to government capital accounts.
Limitations
The dataset covers only aggregated national-level financial liability data and does not include detailed breakdowns by state, department, or individual financial instruments. Units of measurement are not explicitly specified within the dataset file.
Methodology
The data was likely compiled from official government financial statements and budget documents, consolidating annual capital account entries for liabilities related to government administration and departmental commercial undertakings.
