What do you mean by primary deficit ?

Answer»

Primary deficit is the difference between fiscal deficit and interest payment. It is estimated as under :
Primary deficit = Fiscal deficit – Interest Payment
PD = FD – IP
(Here, PD = Primary deficit, FD = Fiscal deficit, IP = Interest payment)
In, other words, primary deficit indicates government borrowings on account of current year expenditure and current year receipts of the government.
