Centre's Q1 Receipts Reach 28.7% of FY27 Target

Every year, the government makes a plan for how much money it expects to receive and spend, called a budget.

This news is about the first three months of India's financial year, up to June 2026.

During that time, the government received about Rs 10.49 lakh crore.

That is about 28.7 percent of its target for the whole year.

The government also spent about Rs 13.57 lakh crore in the same period.

It spent much more on big public projects like highways, railways and ports than it did last year.

It also shared some tax money with state governments, though this amount was lower than last year.

Some of the money goes to pay interest on loans, and some pays for subsidies on items like cooking gas and fertilisers.

The numbers show the government is trying to keep its finances on a steady and disciplined path.
