can someone clarify on this question. When the vote of account is used by the regular govt, the interim budget is used by the interim govt or the caretaker govt? Is budget presented by the caretaker govt is called interim budget?

Could someone please help me with the following question : I think a deficit budget should be used in the case of a recession
the answer seems to be 'A'.
Keynesian economics emphasises that to simulate economy and growth, money should be given to people so that they spend it on stuff. This way demand picks up, subsequently, production picks up too. This, in turn, generates employment. Thus helps in overcoming depression and hastening recovery.
Deficit budget implies that govt is spending more than it could earn in previous fiscal. This in a way shows that govt is spending on infra or other social sectors so that demand picks up. This is in consonance with Keynesian economics.
Whereas, surplus budget implies that the govt is not spending enough (at the time of recession and depression).

Ok so the only way which I have figured out to deal with these questions is through the standard evolution diagram given in every science/geo book.
This question we had discussed on PYQ thread as well: https://forumias.com/post/detail/Previous-Year-Questions-60-Days-Mission-1585383124?JSwzPFAtUzhgCmAK

@upsc2020 , this makes sense. Thank you!
This isn’t a previous year question.But what should be the answer to this question?
Which of the following correctly defines Fiscal Deficit?
(a)Excess of total expenditure over revenue receipts and non-debt creating capital receipts
(b)Borrowings from RBI, abroad as well as net borrowing at home
(c)Excess of government’s total expenditure over total receipts
(d)Both (a) and (b)
In my opinion, the answer should be (a). But the answer key says (d).

Answer would be D. Fiscal deficit is essentially a measure of how much the government needs to borrow from the market to meet its expenditure when its resources are inadequate. So while option a is the technical definition, option b defines what forms the FD.

@capricornape,yes.
How did you identify it?
Does the privatisation or merger of Public sector units require parliamentary nod?
The merger of public sector banks require parliamentary nod, mainly because they have been established under parliamentary acts. Similarly, can we say that the merger of Public sector enterprises also requires parliamentary nod for those established under an act of parliament?

I suppose it requires parliamentary approval when there is a legislation pre-existing to have nationalised it. In case of BPCL, government had repealed the legislation that had nationalised the company, doing away with the need to seek Parliament nod before selling it off to private and foreign firms.
It's my inference. Would request others to share their thoughts as well.
