Source and limitations

Primary source: Ministry of Finance, Expenditure Profile 2026–27, Statement 1 (Summary of Expenditure, printed page 1). The amounts are in ₹ crore, reproduced to two decimals with each of the four officially specified accounting periods.

The figures are a dated published Budget extract, not updated automatically and not a statement of expenditure realised during 2026–27. Categories are hierarchical: central expenditure plus transfers equals expenditure through the Budget; their subheads must not be added again. The original government PDF takes precedence if a discrepancy is identified.
