New Delhi, Mar 13: The Lok Sabha on Friday passed the second batch of supplementary demands for grants, allowing the government to spend an additional Rs 2.01 lakh crore in the current fiscal.
\nThrough the second batch of supplementary demands, the government sought Lok Sabha approval for spending a gross of Rs 2.81 lakh crore extra in the current fiscal year. With additional receipts of Rs 80,000 crore estimated for the current fiscal year in the supplementary, the net additional cash spending will be Rs 2.01 lakh crore.
\nDespite the additional expenditure, the fiscal deficit for the current financial year (2025-26) will be within the Revised Estimates (RE), Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said while replying to the debate.
\nThe second batch of supplementary demands was passed by a voice vote in the Lok Sabha amid din. Opposition members were protesting over the availability of LPG in the country amid the ongoing West Asia crisis.
\nThe Lok Sabha was adjourned for the day after the passage of the supplementary demands.
\nIn RE 2025-26, the fiscal deficit has been estimated at par with the Budget Estimates of 2025-26 at 4.4 per cent of GDP.\u201cThere is no increase in expenditure beyond the BE of 2025-26 due to the second supplementary,\u201d Sitharaman said, amid continuous sloganeering by Opposition members over LPG shortage concerns.
\nIn the Revised Estimates for the current fiscal year, the government had cut total expenditure to Rs 49.65 lakh crore, from Rs 50.65 lakh crore in the BE.
\nTill January, the government had spent Rs 36.90 lakh crore, according to Controller General of Accounts (CGA) data.<\/p>\n
