The relationship between the revenue deficit and the fiscal deficit can be explained through the following points:
  1. Revenue deficit is the difference between government's revenue expenditures and government's receipts.
Revenue deficit = Revenue expenditures - Revenue receipts
On the other hand, fiscal deficit is the difference between the total expenditure and the total receipt of the government.
Fiscal deficit = Total Expenditure - Total Receipts (excluding borrowings)
  1. The term 'fiscal deficit' is used in a broader sense than the term 'revenue deficit'.
  2. As revenue deficit increases, the proportion of fiscal deficit also increases.
