The pressure to further expand the farmer welfare programme ahead of the 2019 national elections is high for PM Modi. A possible announcement of a nationwide direct farmer support scheme is quite likely, or possibly even earlier. A Telangana-style scheme could cost ~ Rs1.2trn, further complicating fiscal maths, as it could be a recurring liability. The RBI’s possible large dividend might help just one time.

The GST-led tax revenue shortfall of 75-80bps of GDP is not reflected in the reduced government expenditure for FY19 due to off-balance-sheet funding, which is not a sustainable solution and will create its own problems later and distort the reported Fiscal Deficit for FY19.

We expect the ‘real’ government expenditure growth to slow down. The impact on capex will be even greater if the farmer support scheme is implemented. ITC should see some relief rally, as the budget is unlikely to tinker with tobacco taxation.

The worries about the strength of India’s accounts have matched with a bounce back in costs of oil – India’s best import – and underneath normal income from merchandise and ventures assessment and resource deals.

The legislature will meet its monetary shortage focus of 3.3 percent for the year finishing March, while it might “slip barely” from one year from now’s 3.1 percent point, Mehta said. Any deviation will be met from extra incomes and by method for a higher profit from the RBI, he said.
