The origin of financial crisis of 1991 can be traced from inefficient management of Indian economy in the 1980s. During the period government was spending a large share of its income one areas which do not provide immediate returns such as social sector and defence. At time public sector was also not earning high income our Foreign exchange borrowed from other countries and international institutional was spent on meeting consumption. Thus the higher current account deficit and borrowing were among the reasons led to 1991 crisis.
