B: Assumptions underlying the Fiscal Indicators
1. GSDP Growth
The annual GSDP in 2010-11 is expected to be Rs. 885374 crore showing an
increase of 13.45 % nominally over the year 2009-10. The economy has started moving
to a higher growth trajectory since the 3rd quarter of 2009-10. However, there is some
uncertainity about the scope and depth of the recovery.
2. Revenue Receipts.
Taxes
Value Added Tax - The Revised Estimates for 2009-10 is kept at Rs. 31688 crore,
being 17.33% more than the original Budget Estimates of Rs. 27006 crore. This reflects
the effect of the incipient recovery and also some effect of the higher prices of diesel and
petrol. Budget Estimates for 2010-11 have been pegged at Rs. 35986 crore reflecting (1)
the effect of recent increase in VAT from 4% to 5% on some commodities (2) the recent
roll back in excise duty cut by the centre and (3) the the recent increase in prices of
diesel and petrol.
Stamp & Registration Duties - The Revised Estimates for 2009-10 are at Rs. 9324
crore, being almost 2.87% lower than the original Budget Estimates of Rs. 9600 crore.
The real estate sector is showing some rebound, both in terms of the price realisation and
the number of transactions. The collection for December 2009 were Rs. 1288.64 crore as
against Rs. 509.15 crore in December 2008, which is reflecting the improved market
conditions. The Budget Estimates for 2010-11 is kept at Rs. 10,478 crore.
State Excise Duties - The Revised Estimates 2009-10 at Rs. 5100 crore are better
than the Budget Estimates of Rs. 4,800 crore. However, though net realisation from ARM
were anticipated to be Rs. 600 crore, the ARM effort has yielded much less. Budget
Estimates for 2010-11 is pegged at Rs. 5800 crore. .
5
Motor Vehicle Tax - The slowdown in the sale of Light Motor Vechiles was
arrested, in part due to the excise duty reduction by the Central Government. However,
sales of heavy motor vechiles continued to remain subdued. The Budget Estimates for
2009-10 are most likely to be realised. The Budget Estimates for 2010-11 are pegged at
Rs. 2860 being 10% higher than Revised Estimates 2009-10.
6
Total Tax Receipts - Tax Receipts including Devolution are estimated at Rs. 63959
crore in Revised Estimates 2009-10, about 5.87% higher than the Original Budget
Estimates of Rs. 59554 crore. The Budget Estimates for 2010-11 is at Rs. 74721 crore.

Interest Receipts - Interest Receipt as per Revised Estimates 2009-10 are kept at Rs.
1291 crore, up from Rs. 1113 crore in the Budget Estimates 2009-10. The increase is
mainly on account of higher interest receipts from investment of Cash Balances, moving
up to Rs. 178 crore in Revised Estimates 2009-10 from an estimated Rs. 120 crore in
Budget Estimates 2009-10. Total interest receipts have been budgeted at Rs. 971 crore in
Budget Estimates 2010-11.

varied from7.85 % to 8.53 %. Receipts from National Small Saving Fund amounted to
Rs. 4113 crore. The total borrowings for the 2010-11 have been estimated at Rs. 26178

estimated at Rs. 14795 crore in Budget Estimates 2009-10. The Revised Estimates 2009-
10 are of Rs. 14547 crore. These are now estimated at Rs. 16294 crore in Budget

Salary Payment - Salary payment, including grant-in-aid for salaries were expected
to be Rs.34346 crore in Budget Estimate 2009-10. The same were revised upward to Rs.
36924 crore, mainly on account of payment of arrears on account of the Sixth Pay
Commission Award. The salary payment for 2010-11 are estimated at Rs. 42851 crore.
This represents an increase of 22.76% in salaries over 2009-10. Salary expenditure

2010-11 as against 41.72 % in Revised Estimates 2009-10.
Pension -Pension payments as per estimates of 2009-10 were Rs. 6831 crore. As per
Revised Estimates 2009-10, this is Rs. 8318 crore and Rs. 8889 crore as per Budget
Estimates 2010-11. This increase is due to revision of pension consequent to the award
8
of the Sixth Pay Commission. Pensions as per Budget Estimates 2010-11, constitutes
9.16 % of the estimated revenue receipts.

Investment and Returns
The total investment of Government in various statutory corporations, companies
etc was at Rs. 56386 crore at the end of 2008-2009. The return on this investment by way
of interest/ dividends was Rs. 71 crore, being just 0.12 % of the total investments.
Assessment of Sustainability.
The revision of salaries consequent to the award of Sixth Pay Commission has
caused an upward shift in the expenditure trajectory. Revenue deficit has been estimated
at Rs. 7654 crore in Budget Estimates 2010-11. The immediate task before the
Government is to ensure that ongoing development and capital works do not get delayed
because of a squeeze on resources. In the immediate future, this would require additional
revenue mobilisation and also possibly a higher reliance on borrowings.
The award of the 13th Finance Commission has improved the expected transfers
from the Central Government significantly. As per the projection of the XIIIth Finance
Commission. Maharashtra will get Rs. 91709 crore during the award period through
devolution and grants. The implemention of GST has been deferred by a year. When
implemented, it will help to introduce buoyancy in revenues both by widening the tax
base and by stimulating economic growth due to lower compliance costs and lower
effective tax rates on a widen base. The completion of ongoing irrigation projects and
power projects is expected to increase revenues directly and indirectly. In the medium
term ( 2 to 3 years), it is expected that higher growth in revenues as compared to
expenditure on salaries would enable the State Government to achieve a revenue balance.
Interest and Debt burden is expected to rise over the next two years but stabilise and then
reduce gradually thereafter.
10
FORM A - 2
The fiscal deficit for the State Government for RE 2009-10 is pegged at 3.93% of
the GSDP while the revenue deficit is 1.61 % of the GSDP. The fiscal deficit for BE
2010-11 is estimated at 2.74%, but would be retained at 3% thereafter. This would
ensure that there is no disruptive impact on vulnerable sections of the society dependent
on Government benefit transfers and also on those small and medium businesses that
depend largely on Government procurement.
The reduction in revenue deficit will take place only over the next two years as
the impact of the upward revision in salary trajectories due to award of Pay Commission
is absorbed. This will also depend on the robustness of economic growth and buoyancy in
the revenues of the Government.
11
B. Fiscal Policy for the ensuing financial year
The Budget for 2010-11 is being presented in the backdrop of an improved global
economic situation, although doubts persist about the scope and depth of recovery. The
revenue balance continues to be adverse due to the upward revision of salaries. However,
the Budget Estimates for 2010-11 shows a revenue deficit of Rs.7654 crore as against a
deficit of Rs.12730 crore in Revised Estimates for 2009-10. Fiscal deficit will be
maintained at 3% of GSDP so as to avoid a disruptive squeeze on plan expenditure. The
attempt is to ensure that the growth momentum in the economy is maintained and even
increased, even though this may mean increased public expenditure. The medium term
objective would be to consolidate economic growth with consequent high growth in
revenues and low deficits and channelise public expenditure for human resource
development and infrastructure development.
C & D. Strategic priorities for the ensuing year and its Rationale
Tax Policy:
Value Added Tax- The emphasis is on (a) accelerating the use of information
technology for making the system more tax payer friendly (b) attempt to reduce the
arrears of tax by quick disposal of cases and (c) generate higher revenue through
increased rates on some commodities.
Contingent and other Liabilities - The present policy of making a judicious use
of guarantees to catalyse investment in infrastructure and agro- business would continue.
12
Policy Evaluation - Budget 2010-11 reflects an attempt to gradually move towards
revenue balance. At the same time, it has been ensured that public investment in
Agriculture, Human Development and Infrastructure is not squeezed. It is expected that
the economic recovery would be robust and the State GSDP would grow around 9% in
real terms over the next 3 years.
