The document summarizes key fiscal developments in India, including trends in central government receipts and expenditures. Some of the key points include:
- Tax revenues grew at a rate of 12.1% of GDP in 2018-19, with improvements in direct tax collection. However, indirect tax revenues fell slightly due to shortfalls in GST collections.
- Non-tax revenues exceeded budget estimates for 2018-19, helped by higher dividends and profits. Disinvestment receipts also exceeded targets through various instruments.
- Expenditure has been rationalized through moderation of subsidies and initiatives to improve efficiency in the defense sector. Capital expenditures have increased as a proportion of GDP.

The Union Budget 2018-19 is going to be the last full Budget of the incumbent government and will be keenly watched for the twin provisions of driving investment and growth on one hand while maintaining fiscal discipline on the other. CII expects Budget 2018-19 to focus on four key areas: investment revival, job creation, growth of the agricultural sector and development of the social sectors of education and healthcare. CII has recommended that the government stick to fiscal prudence which in turn will help in softening interest rates and boosting GDP growth in the near to medium-term. While a slippage from the budgeted target of 3.2 per cent of GDP fiscal deficit for FY18 looks imminent now, an attempt should be made to raise additional resources so as not to diverge from the targeted deficit level by a large magnitude. This month issue of CII Economy Matters focuses on Pre-Budget Expectations: 2018-19.

Fiscal policy is the use of government spending and taxation to influence the economy. The government typically uses fiscal policy to promote strong and sustainable growth and reduce poverty. Several initiatives have been passed by the government this year to achieve the target.
There are 2 types of fiscal policy:
1. Expansionary fiscal policy
2. Contractionary fiscal policy

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
ย
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
ย
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

ย
According to TechSci Research report, โIndia Orthopedic Devices Market -Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030โ, the India Orthopedic Devices Market stood at USD 1,280.54 Million in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 7.84% in the forecast period, 2026-2030F.

4. Fiscal Developments
Budget 2018-19 was presented in the backdrop of upswing in global investment and trade in the second half of
2017. The global growth was expected to continue its momentum in 2018. Despite several headwinds, Indian
economy is expected to grow at 6.8 per cent while maintaining macro-economic stability.
The Budget 2018-19 affirmed Governmentโs intent on fiscal consolidation. It aimed to revert to the path of fiscal
rectitude after the temporary blip in 2018-19.
The new fiscal targeting framework was adopted, which rests on twin pillars of reducing debt and fiscal deficit.
The Medium Term Fiscal Policy (MTFP) Statement presented along with the Union Budget 2018-19 revised the
fiscal deficit target for 2017-18, as percent of GDP, by 0.3 percent from 3.2 per cent to 3.5 percent, owing to spill-
over impact of the new indirect tax regime.
The FY 2018-19 has ended with fiscal deficit at 3.4 per cent of GDP and debt to GDP ratio of 44.5 per cent
(Provisional).
5. Central Government Finances
Fiscal consolidation entails revenue augmentation and expenditure rationalisation. In the post-Fiscal Responsibility
and Budget Management Act (FRBMA) period from 2004-05 to 2007-08, significant fiscal consolidation could be
achieved largely due to buoyant tax revenues with net tax revenue to the Centre increasing by 1.9 percentage points
of GDP.
As part of the strategy to revive growth post the Global financial crisis, fiscal consolidation was paused, which
manifested in tax concessions and higher public expenditure.
However, after 2011- 12, there have been gradual, but consistent, efforts towards fiscal consolidation.
The salient changes in the Central Government finances include improvement in the tax to GDP ratio, significant
consolidation of revenue expenditure and gradual tilt towards capital spending over the years.
These have led to progressive reduction in primary and fiscal deficits.
6. Trends in Receipts
Central government receipts can broadly be
divided into non-debt and debt receipts. The non-
debt receipts comprise of tax revenue, non-tax
revenue, recovery of loans, and disinvestment
receipts. Debt receipts mostly consist of market
borrowings and other liabilities, which the
government is obliged to repay in the future.
The Budget 2018-19 targeted significantly high
growth in non-debt receipts of the Central
Government, which was driven by robust growth
in net tax revenue and non-tax revenue.
7. Tax Revenue
Budget 2018-19 envisaged a growth of 16.7
per cent in gross tax revenue (GTR) over the
revised estimates (RE) of 2017-18. GTR was
estimated at 22.7 lakh crore for budget
estimates 2018-19, which was 12.1 per cent
of the GDP
The contribution of different taxes in GTR for
2018-19 budget estimates and 2018-19
provisional actuals are shown here.
8. Indirect taxes have fallen by 0.4 percentage points of GDP
primarily due to shortfall in GST collections. This has been partly
offset by 0.1 percentage points increase in direct taxes.
Better tax administration, widening of TDS carried over the
years, anti-tax evasion measures and increase in effective tax
payers base have contributed to direct tax buoyancy.
Going forward, sustaining improvement in tax collection will
depend on the revenue buoyancy of GST.
Analysis of direct tax receipts shows that a significant portion of
tax collected are refunded every year and such refunds have
declined after 2016-17.
Contd.
9. Non-tax revenue consists mainly of interest receipts on loans to States and Union Territories, dividends and
profits from Public Sector Enterprises including surplus of Reserve Bank of India transferred to GOI, and
external grants and receipts for services provided by the Central Government.
The Budget for 2018-19 envisaged generation of 2.45 lakh crore of non-tax revenue, 27.2 per cent higher than
2017-18, of which roughly one-third of the increase is attributable to dividends and profits .
As per the Provisional Actual figures for 2018-19, receipts from non-tax revenue have exceeded the budget
estimate.
Non-Tax Revenue
10. Non-Debt Capital Receipts
Non-debt capital receipts mainly consist of recovery of loans and advances, and disinvestment
receipts.
The share of recovery of loans has declined over the years following disintermediation of loan
portion of Central assistance to States consequent to the recommendation of the Twelfth Finance
Commission, and States allowed to borrow directly from the market.
The Budget for 2018-19 has envisaged generation of 0.92 lakh crore of non-debt capital receipts,
comprising 0.12 lakh crore of recovery of loans and advances, and 0.80 lakh crore of disinvestment
receipts.
11. โข The budget estimates for disinvestment for the year 2018-19 was fixed at 0.80 lakh crore. Against this, 0.85
lakh crore was collected using a variety of instruments like Initial Public Offers (IPOs), Offer for Sale (OFS),

12. Trends in Expenditure
Rationalisation and reprioritisation of
government expenditure is integral
to fiscal reforms. As Indiaโs tax to
GDP ratio is low, Government faces
the challenge of providing sufficient
funds for investment and
infrastructure expansion while
maintaining fiscal discipline.
The composition of government
expenditure reveals that expenditure
on defence, salaries, pensions,
interest payments and subsidies
account for more than sixty per cent
of total expenditure.
13. Several initiatives have been undertaken
by the Ministry of Defence to improve
efficiency and utilisation of defence
expenditure, promote self-reliance, and
encourage private sector participation
in the defence sector.
Expenditures on salaries, pensions and
interest payments are, by and large,
committed in nature and have limited
headroom for creation of additional
fiscal space.
Subsidies have seen significant
moderation through improved targeting.
Major subsidies as per cent of GDP
Contd.
14. Defence Initiatives
The allocation for Defence Budget, including Civil estimates and Pensions for 2018-19 is 4,04,364.71 crore,
which is 44,510.50 crore over BE 2017-18.
The trend of underutilization of Defence Budget has also been reversed in FY 2016-17 and 2017-18.
Delegation of enhanced financial powers to Vice-Chiefs has been done primarily to expedite the decision-
making process involved in revenue procurements of the Armed Forces.
Ministry of Defence has comprehensively reviewed the Defence Procurement Procedure 2016. Several
measures as part of โBusiness Process Re-engineeringโ have been undertaken to make the acquisition process
industry friendly, provide a level playing field for various stakeholders and reduce the complexities and time
lines in provisioning of defence platforms, equipment and systems for modernization of the Indian Armed
Forces.
15. In order to encourage participation of Indian industry in design and development of defence items, a โMake-IIโ
procedure was notified in February 2018 wherein a number of industry friendly provisions have been introduced, such
as relaxation of eligibility criteria, minimal documentation, and provision for consideration of suo-moto proposals
suggested by industry/ individual.
A Defence Investor Cell has been made functional in the Department of Defence Production (DDP) since January 2018.
It has played an important role as one-stop solution for all types of defence production related queries.
Exports from Ordinance Factory Board (OFB), DPSUs and the private sector (based on authorization issued by DDP) in
the Financial Year 2017-18 had increased to 4,682 crore from 1,522 crore in the financial year 2016-17. Further, exports
have more than doubled in 2018-19 to 10,746 crore over the previous year.
After opening of the Defence Industry Sector for Indian private sector participation, so far 42 FDI proposals/Joint
Ventures have been approved in defence sector for manufacture of various defence equipment, both in public and
private sectors.
DPIIT has issued 439 Industrial Licenses (ILs) to private companies till March 2019 for manufacture of a wide range of
defence items, which were 214 till the end of March 2014.
Contd.
16. Capital Expenditure
Comparison of Provisional Actuals with budget estimates for the year 2018- 19 reveals that Government has
been able to contain fiscal deficit at 3.4 per cent of GDP through compression of Government expenditure.
The quality of expenditure reflected in the share of capital expenditure in total expenditure has improved in
2018-19 provisional actuals over 2017-18.
As a proportion of GDP, both capital expenditure and non-defence capital expenditure register a rise of 0.1
percentage point in 2018-19.
Expansion in capital expenditure on roads, railways and others has been met without compromising defence
capital expenditure. In fact, capital expenditure of Ministry of Road Transport and Highways and Ministry of
Railways has recorded impressive growth of 33 per cent and 22 per cent, respectively, in 2018-19 over 2017-
18.
17. Revenue Expenditure
The growth in revenue expenditure
in 2018-19 though moderate, has
been led by salaries, pensions and
interest payments.
Major subsidies comprising food,
fertiliser and petroleum have
continued their downward trend
and have further declined by 0.1
percentage point of GDP in 2018-19
PA over 2017-18.

18. Components of Revenue Expenditure
Changes in major components of Revenue Expenditure in 2018-19 over 2013-014 as per cent of

19. Transfer of Funds to State
Transfer of funds to States comprises essentially of three components:
โข Share of States in Central taxes devolved to the States,
โข Finance Commission Grants,
โข Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS) and other transfers.
Both in absolute terms, and as a percentage of GDP, total transfers to States have risen between 2014-15 and 2018-19.
Total transfers to States have risen by 1.2 percentage points of GDP over this period.
Transfers to States (in crores)
20. Central Government Debt
Total liabilities of the Central Government
include debt contracted against the
Consolidated Fund of India, technically
defined as Public Debt, as well as liabilities in
the Public Account.
Total liabilities of the Central Government at
end-March 2019 stood at 84.7 lakh crores and
90 per cent of which was public debt.
Total liabilities of the Central Government as a
ratio of GDP, has been consistently declining,
particularly after the enactment of the FRBM
Act, 2003. This is an outcome of both fiscal
consolidation efforts as well as relatively high
GDP growth.
Trend in Centreโs Debt-GDP ratio
(in per cent)
21. Central government debt is characterised by
low currency and interest rate risks. This is
owing to low share of external debt in the
debt portfolio and almost entire external
borrowings being from official sources.The other salient feature is the gradual
elongation of the maturity profile of the
Central Governmentโs debt leading to
reduced rollover risks.The proportion of dated securities maturing
in less than five years has seen consistent
decline in recent years.

Central Government Securities

Contd.
22. State Government Finances
The State budgets expanded considerably in 2017-18 over 2016-17 on account of increase in revenue
expenditure. Capital expenditure consists of capital outlay and loans and advances by the State Governments.
The loans and advances by the State Governments declined sharply in 2017-18 owing to reduction in loans and
advances by States for power projects and food storage and warehousing.
On the revenue front, States own tax and non-tax revenue display robust growth in 2017-18 which is envisaged
to be maintained in 2018-19.
The RBI study on State Finances points to the deterioration in fiscal deficit to GDP ratio in 2017-18 when
compared to the budget estimate.
This deterioration occurred due to the overshooting of revenue expenditure mainly due to farm loan waiver
and pay revisions.
However, over 2016-17, there is consolidation in fiscal deficit by about 0.4 percentage points.
23. States have budgeted for fiscal deficit of 2.6 per cent of GDP in 2018-19. Consolidation is mainly due to posting
of surplus of about 0.2 percentage points of GDP on the revenue account.
Outstanding liabilities of states, as per cent of GDP, has increased after 2014-15. The issuance of UDAY bonds in
2015-16 and 2016-17, farm loan waivers, and the implementation of pay commission awards have led to
higher debt to GDP ratio.
Economic Survey 2016-17 had estimated impact of UDAY bonds on fiscal deficit to be 0.7 percentage points of
GDP. However, despite rising Statesโ debt to GDP ratio, interest payment as proportion of revenue receipts has
not deteriorated.

25. Outlook
The coming year will pose several challenges on the fiscal front. Firstly, there are apprehensions of slowing of
growth, which will have implications for revenue collections.
Secondly, the financial year 2018-19 has ended with shortfall in GST collections. Therefore, revenue buoyancy
of GST will be key to improved resource position of both Central and State Governments.
Thirdly, resources for now expanded Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) and Ayushmaan Bharat,
as well as new initiatives of the new Government, will have to be found without compromising the fiscal deficit
target as per the revised glide path.
Finally, Fifteenth Finance Commission will submit its report for next five years beginning April 2020. Its
recommendation especially on tax devolution will have implications for Central Government finances.
