Solution

The correct option is B

Rs 10,000 crore


Budgetary Deficit = Total Expenditures - Total Receipts

= (Revenue Expenditure + Capital Expenditure) - (Revenue Receipts + Capital Receipts)

= (Rs 25,000 crore + Rs 35,000 crore) - (Rs 20,000 + Rs 30,000 crore)

= Rs 60,000 crore - Rs 50,000 crore

= Rs 10,000 crore
