What is 'Revenue Budget'
Definition: Revenue Budget consists of the revenue receipts of the government (tax revenues and other revenues) and the expenditure met from these revenues.
Description: Tax revenues comprise proceeds of taxes and other duties levied by the Union. Other revenues are receipts of the government mainly consisting of interest and dividend on investments made by the government, and fees and receipts for other services rendered by the government.
Revenue expenditure is expenditure for the normal running of government departments and various services, interest charges on debt incurred by government, subsidies and so on.
Broadly speaking, expenditure which does not result in the creation of assets is treated as revenue expenditure. All grants given to state governments and other parties are also treated as revenue expenditure, even though some of the grants may be for creation of assets.

It introduced an alternative tax schedule which taxpayers could use largely and very few exemptions were admissible under that schedule but the tax rates still remain quite high. As a result, there have not been many takers. Only people like me, who have zero exemptions, use that tax schedule. "
