Question Asked : SSC CPO Sub-Inspector Exam 2003
Explanation : Budgetary Deficit is the difference between all receipts and expenditure of the government, on both revenue and capital account. This difference is met by the net addition of the treasury bills issued by the RBI and drawing down of cash balances kept with the RBI. So when it is estimated, drawing down of cash balances is excluded.
