 Sand, silt, and clay are the basic types of soils and most of soils are made up of a combination of
these three.
 There are various types of soils and the formation of soil is primarily influenced by major
factors such as climate, altitude and composition of bedrock etc.
 Disproportion in the distribution of rainfall in the country and excessive heat contribute special
characters to the soils.

 Net Sown Area is the area sown with crops but is counted only once
 Gross Cropped Area (GCA) is the total area sown once, as well as more than once in a particular
year. When the crop is sown on a piece of land for twice, the area is counted twice in GCA
Back to Basics: Current fallow lands
 This represents cropped area which is kept fallow (unsown) during the current year

 This includes all land classified either as forest under any legal enactment, or administered as
forest, whether State-owned or private, and whether wooded or maintained as potential forest
land.

forests remain included under the “forest area”

canals, and other land put to uses other than agriculture
Back to Basics : Barren and uncultivable land

cultivation except at an exorbitant cost is classified as unculturable whether such land is in
isolated blocks or within cultivated holdings
Back to Basics: Fallow land
 This includes all land which was taken up for cultivation but is temporarily out of cultivation for
a period of not less than one year and not more than five years

Back to Basics: Expenditure by GOAP
Govt expenditure can be classified in two broad formats: Capital Expenditure and Revenue
Expenditure
Capital Expenditure:
 This expenditure basically associated with Govt’s asset creation activity.

 Example: Building roads, airports, or buying defence equipments etc.
Revenue Expenditure:
 This expenditure basically refers to expenditure by Govt to maintain its assets.

 Broadly it encompasses expenditure made by govt on salaries for employees, pensions,
maintainance of infrastructure, buying accessories of various equipments which are part of govt
asset , subsidies on education, PDS, loan that has been repaid by govt etc.
Back to Basics : Own Tax Sources
State’s own tax revenue includes taxes such as
 Sales Tax
 Stamps and Registration
 State GST
 Professional tax
 State Excise
 Taxes on motor vehicles
 Compensation twds loss of sales tax
Economic variables such as share of agriculture in net state domestic product (NSDP), share of
manufacturing in NSDP, share of non-agricultural sector in NSDP, share of tertiary (services) sector in
NSDP, per capita NSDP, consumer price index, previous year’s deficit/surplus as per cent of previous
year’s total expenditure (revenue account) are taken as the factors affecting the levels of state’s own tax
revenues
Back to Basics : Own Non-Tax Sources
 Govt revenue that is either requited or voluntary or both

 In the case of voluntary requited payments a further distinction is made between revenue from
assets and revenue from sale of goods and services
 Non-tax revenues cover a wide array of government revenue sources, ranging from proceeds
from the sale of communications bandwith, to mineral royalties to interest on loans by govts to
fines and penalties
 Non-tax revenues ensure that the sources of revenue to the State exchequer are broad-based
and buoyant
AP’s Own Non-Tax sources include
 Mines and minerals

 Forests
 Interest receipts
 Education
 Medical and Health
Back to Basics: Revenue Deficit
 Revenue deficit is a result of a mismatch between expected revenue and expenditure

 Revenue deficit arises when government’s actual net receipts are lower than the projected
receipts
 On the other hand, if the actual receipts are higher than projected by the government, the
situation is termed as revenue surplus
 It should be noted that revenue deficit does not mean the actual loss of revenue.
Let’s understand the same with the help of an example.
 If the government spends Rs 100 and earns Rs 125, the net revenue will be Rs 25.
 However, if the government has estimated expenditure at Rs 100, and earning at Rs 130,
than its expected revenue would be set at Rs 30. But, since the actual earning is Rs 25, the it
will lead to a revenue deficit of Rs 5 (Expected Revenue Rs 30- Achieved Revenue Rs 25).
Back to Basics: Fiscal Deficit
 Fiscal deficit is the difference of government expenditure and government revenue.(assume

that government expenditure is more than revenue).
 More fiscal deficit means government has no money, he has to borrow money from central
bank or through some bond/scheme.
 If government is borrowing from RBI, in other words RBI has to print more money, so it will
increase the liquidity of money in the market. So people will have more money in their
hand,but we have limited resources. For example, before there was 5 car buyers for 1 car, now
there is 10 car buyer for 1 car. So demand for car will increase and it will increase the price of
car. So price of everything will go up. Ultimately Inflation will go up.
 If government is borrowing money from people as bond or some scheme through,
government has to pay high interest after some year. So people will invest their money in
government schemes, so liquidity of the money will come down. Before we have 5 car buyer
for 1 car, now we have 2 car buyer for 1 car, so car price will go down. Price of everything will go
down, people will buy less things. It will slow down the industrial growth and it will be deflation
in the country. It will make economic growth sluggish. And in the situation of the deflation,
Government has to pay high interest to the people.
 Third case, government has to borrow money from world bank or from some other country.
Because of that Government has to devalue it’s currency.
As government has no money, government can’t bring any new development scheme. It will become
difficult to tackle any crisis over country.
Prices:
Consumer Price Indices for Industrial Workers:
 Increased by 1.23% in state

 Increased by 2.12% in All India level (Apr – Oct 2017)
Wholesale Price Index (WPI) serves as an important determinant in formulation of trade, fiscal and
other economic policies by the government
WPI (Base Year 2004-05) for All Commodities increased from 113.2 in Apr 2017 to 115.7 in Dec 2017
Back to Basics: Consumer Price Index
o Consumer Price Index is a measure of change in retail prices of goods and services consumed
by defined population group in a given area with reference to a base year.
o This basket of goods and services represents the level of living or the utility derived by the
consumers at given levels of their income, prices and tastes.
o This index is an important economic indicator and is widely considered as a barometer of
inflation, a tool for monitoring price stability and as a deflator in national accounts.
o Presently the consumer price indices compiled in India are CPI for Industrial workers CPI(IW), CPI
for Agricultural Labourers CPI(AL) and; Rural Labourers CPI(RL) and (Urban) and CPI(Rural).
Back to Basics: Wholesale Price Index
o Wholesale Price Index (WPI) measures the average change in the prices of commodities for
bulk sale at the level of early stage of transactions.
o The index basket of the WPI covers commodities falling under the three major groups namely
Primary Articles, Fuel and Power and Manufactured products.
o WPI basket does not cover services. In India WPI is also known as the headline inflation rate .
o Office of Economic Advisor (OEA), Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion, Ministry of
Commerce and Industry calculates the WPI.
