Which of the following may not be counted under the Capital Receipts of Mizoram state government
A)
Market Borrowing
B)
Borrowing from Financial Institutions
C)
Post Devolution Revenue Deficit Grant
D)
Ways & Means Advances
To solve this, we must distinguish between Revenue Receipts and Capital Receipts in government accounting:
1. **Capital Receipts** are those that either create a liability (debt) or reduce an asset.
- **Market Borrowings (Option a)**: These are loans taken from the market, creating a liability. Thus, they are Capital Receipts.
- **Borrowings from Financial Institutions (Option b)**: These are loans from banks/institutions, creating a liability. Thus, they are Capital Receipts.
- **Ways & Means Advances (Option d)**: These are temporary loans provided by the RBI/Government of India to bridge temporary mismatches in cash flows. Since they are liabilities to be repaid, they are classified as Capital Receipts.
2. **Revenue Receipts** are those that neither create a liability nor reduce an asset.
- **Post Devolution Revenue Deficit Grant (Option c)**: This is a grant-in-aid provided by the Central Government to states to bridge the gap between their revenue expenditure and their revenue receipts (after devolution of taxes). Since grants are non-repayable and do not create a liability, they are classified as **Revenue Receipts**.
Therefore, the Post Devolution Revenue Deficit Grant is NOT counted under Capital Receipts.
