))Note: * Includes Rs. 800 crore as contingency funds; BE is Budget Estimates; RE is Revised Estimates.  Expenditure in 2021-22 (Capital Outlay) : ))In 2020-21, capital outlay at the revised stage (Rs. 5,065 crore) is estimated to be 62% less than the budget estimate.This is mainly due to a cut in capital outlay in certain sectors including: (i) Education, Sports, Art and Culture (Rs. 436 crore at revised stage against budget estimate of 1,766 crore), and (ii) irrigation and flood control (Rs 1,361 crore at revised stage against budget estimate of Rs 2,321 crore). ))Further, the agriculture and allied services observed a negative capital outlay of Rs. 2,681 crore at the revised stage against the budget estimate of a positive capital outlay of Rs. 232 crore. This is mainly due to decline in the expenditure on the grain supply scheme from Rs. 14,730 crore at the budget stage to Rs. 12,301 crore at the revised stage (a decrease of 16%). A negative capital outlay means that the recoveries in the sector have been higher than the expenditure. ))Capital expenditure for 2021-22 is proposed to be Rs. 38,718 crore, which is an annual increase of 6% over 2019-20. Capital expenditure includes expenditure affecting the assets and liabilities of the state, such as: (i) capital outlay, i.e., expenditure which leads to the creation of assets (such as bridges and hospitals), and (ii) repayment and grant of loans by the state government. The capital outlay in 2021-22 (Rs. 9,318 crore) is estimated to annually decrease by 27% from 2019-20. ))Revenue expenditure for 2021-22 is proposed to be Rs. 1,16,927 crore, which is an annual increase of 17% over 2019-20. This includes expenditure such as payment of salaries, pensions, interest, and subsidies.
