Thanks Miranda. I do not know of any such report, and it sounds rather unlikely to me – After all, it would be suicidal for governments to make such aggregate reports.

Hi Vivek
Great work, very useful. I am trying to find out if Indian state governments publish any “tax expenditure” reports of revenue foregone from tax incentives. Do you know if they do? The Union Budget does contain this information.

Thanks for your work in publishing this information. Would you know where I could find archived budgets by state? For example, the Andhra Pradesh budget from 1995-1996 or the Gujarat budget from 2000-2001?

I’m working on my thesis written on state-wise distributions in India, and I need some earlier data. No one at the government will answer my emails.

Thank you for this information. These links will be a great resource for those both within and outside of India who have a policy interest in public funding on the state level there. Oftentimes this information is extremely difficult to come by, which is regrettable in that public financing matters should be as accessible and transparent as possible if people are to trust the process. Thanks again!

really a nice work.

Even the Government lacks such initiative.

They are telling there is right to information act.

but they are not revealing the information about budget.

really a good work.
