  • Revenue Receipts (A) → Tax Revenue (III)

    • Revenue receipts include tax revenue (like income tax, GST) and non-tax revenue (like fees, fines, and interest earned).
    • These are regular income sources for the government and do not create liabilities.
  • Capital Expenditure (B) → Expenses on Building and Machinery (IV)

    • Capital expenditure refers to spending on long-term assets like infrastructure, buildings, and machinery that increase the productive capacity of the economy.
  • Capital Receipts (C) → Disinvestment (II)

    • Capital receipts include borrowings, disinvestment (selling government stakes in public enterprises), and loans received.
    • These receipts either create a liability (debt) or reduce assets (disinvestment).
  • Revenue Expenditure (D) → Expense on Functions of Government (I)

    • Revenue expenditure includes day-to-day government expenses such as salaries, pensions, subsidies, and administrative costs.
    • These do not create assets or reduce liabilities.
