Enumerate the objectives of the FRBM Act, 2003. Has the FRBM Act been effective in its operation? In this context, discuss the recommendations of N.K. Singh committee to review the FRBM Act. (15 marks/ 250 Words )

Approach : Introduce the answer by mentioning the broader objective of the FRBM Act. Enumerate the objectives of the FRBM Act, 2003. Highlight benefits and criticism of the FRBM Act due to ineffective implementation. Discuss the recommendations of N.K. Singh committee to review the FRBM Act. Answer : The Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management Act, 2003 (FRBMA) is an Act of the Parliament of India to institutionalize financial discipline, reduce India’s fiscal deficit, improve macroeconomic management and the overall management of the public funds by moving towards a balanced budget. Assessment of FRBM Act: Positives : 1. Puts a limit on borrowing by the government for expenditure - thus keeping a check on inflation. 2. Fiscal discipline by the government also ensures a good credit rating by international agencies. 3. The act also puts a limit on borrowing by the states. Criticism due to the ineffectiveness of the Act : 1. FRBM Act is neither necessary nor sufficient to ensure that fiscal discipline is maintained. They have the potential to help, definitely. Under the FRBM Act, the state requires the Centre"s permission to borrow but the similar check is not imposed on the centre. Due to this, the centre’s FD declined from 3.9% in 2004-05 to 3.1% in 2007-08. However, at the time of recession, like many other countries of the G20, the centre decided to go for countercyclical measures to allay the effect of the 2008 recession on the economy. The FD increased to 6% of GDP in 2008-09 2. The existing FRBM Act prescribes a target fiscal deficit of 3% of GDP for the centre but with no explicit justification for the number. Since there is also a separate limit for the states (although not specified in the Act), the combined fiscal deficit (general government deficit in International Monetary Fund terminology) is much larger. The Fourteen Finance Commission, under the Chairmanship of YV Reddy, suggested a combined deficit of 6% (3% respectively for centre and states) for the period of 2015-16 to 2019-20. However, the reasonability of such a target should be based upon two criteria - Crowding out of private investment - Debt Sustainability Ideally, the FRBM Act should not prescribe specific numbers. Instead, it should require the government to present every year an explicit analysis of the crowding-out implications and government debt-to-GDP ratio implications of the proposed fiscal deficit trajectory of the combined deficit over the next five years based on explicit assumptions about GDP growth, household savings and inflation. This would bring out more clearly the rationale for the target and would guide discussions of departures. 3. The third issue is with regards to apportioning the debt between centre and states. The 14thFinance Commission has gone for greater devolution of taxes to the states which should mean that the fiscal capacity of the central government, ideally needs to be enhanced through a liberal limit on the FD of central government vis a vis the states. For distribution of deficit targets among the various states, we must ensure that states with greater debt burden and lower growth potential should be allowed to borrow less. These states should be helped through greater grants instead of allowing them greater borrowing limits in light of sustainability of debt 4. It is also argued that the current FD targets are not flexible which makes it difficult for the government to adhere to it when the going gets tough. This can happen, for instance, when there is widespread drought, or when exports go down. - In a cyclical downturn, it doesn’t make sense to be rigid with FRBM targets. Instead, we should allow the deficit to exceed the target in a structurally adjusted manner as a counter cyclical measure. The structurally adjusted deficit is what the deficit would have been if the cyclical shocks had not occurred. And the approach must be symmetric when positive shocks produce an unexpected gain in revenue, the observed fiscal deficit should be lower than the target - Flexibility may also be needed because of non-cyclical shocks, for example, a permanent increase in oil prices. In such a situation the correct approach is to go back to the drawing board, work out the implications for GDP growth and revenues, and determine a new fiscal trajectory, which takes appropriate account of crowding out and the debt/GDP ratio. 5. Both the Thirteenth Finance Commission and the Fourteenth Finance Commission recommended the establishment of an autonomous body to review fiscal performance under the FRBM Act. To deal with the inefficiency of the FRBM Act, GOI appointed NK Singh Committee to recommend reforms on FRBM Act NK Singh Committee recommendations a. A debt-to-GDP ratio of 40% for the central government, 20% for the state governments together and a fiscal deficit of 2.5% of GDP (gross domestic product), both by the financial year 2022-23. b. There be some flexibility in the deficit targets on both sides, downwards when growth is good and upwards when it isn’t. c. Enact a new Debt and Fiscal Responsibility Act after repealing the existing Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management (FRBM) Act, and creating a fiscal council. d. Compose a three-member fiscal council to prepare multi-year fiscal forecasts for the central and state governments (together called the general government) and provide an independent assessment of the central government’s fiscal performance and compliance with targets set under the new law. e. Revenue deficit-to-GDP ratio has been envisaged to decline steadily by 0.25 percentage points each year from 2.3% in 2016-17 to 0.8% in 2022-23. f. To deal with unforeseen events such as war, calamities of national proportion, the collapse of agricultural activity, far-reaching structural reforms, and sharp decline in real output growth of at least 3 percentage points, the committee has specified deviation in fiscal deficit target of not more than 0.5 percentage points. It is expected that the centre and state governments implement recommendations of NK Singh committee in letter and spirit which will help in effective public debt management.

##Question:Enumerate the objectives of the FRBM Act, 2003. Has the FRBM Act been effective in its operation? In this context, discuss the recommendations of N.K. Singh committee to review the FRBM Act. (15 marks/ 250 Words )##Answer:Approach : Introduce the answer by mentioning the broader objective of the FRBM Act. Enumerate the objectives of the FRBM Act, 2003. Highlight benefits and criticism of the FRBM Act due to ineffective implementation. Discuss the recommendations of N.K. Singh committee to review the FRBM Act. Answer : The Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management Act, 2003 (FRBMA) is an Act of the Parliament of India to institutionalize financial discipline, reduce India’s fiscal deficit, improve macroeconomic management and the overall management of the public funds by moving towards a balanced budget. Assessment of FRBM Act: Positives : 1. Puts a limit on borrowing by the government for expenditure - thus keeping a check on inflation. 2. Fiscal discipline by the government also ensures a good credit rating by international agencies. 3. The act also puts a limit on borrowing by the states. Criticism due to the ineffectiveness of the Act : 1. FRBM Act is neither necessary nor sufficient to ensure that fiscal discipline is maintained. They have the potential to help, definitely. Under the FRBM Act, the state requires the Centre"s permission to borrow but the similar check is not imposed on the centre. Due to this, the centre’s FD declined from 3.9% in 2004-05 to 3.1% in 2007-08. However, at the time of recession, like many other countries of the G20, the centre decided to go for countercyclical measures to allay the effect of the 2008 recession on the economy. The FD increased to 6% of GDP in 2008-09 2. The existing FRBM Act prescribes a target fiscal deficit of 3% of GDP for the centre but with no explicit justification for the number. Since there is also a separate limit for the states (although not specified in the Act), the combined fiscal deficit (general government deficit in International Monetary Fund terminology) is much larger. The Fourteen Finance Commission, under the Chairmanship of YV Reddy, suggested a combined deficit of 6% (3% respectively for centre and states) for the period of 2015-16 to 2019-20. However, the reasonability of such a target should be based upon two criteria - Crowding out of private investment - Debt Sustainability Ideally, the FRBM Act should not prescribe specific numbers. Instead, it should require the government to present every year an explicit analysis of the crowding-out implications and government debt-to-GDP ratio implications of the proposed fiscal deficit trajectory of the combined deficit over the next five years based on explicit assumptions about GDP growth, household savings and inflation. This would bring out more clearly the rationale for the target and would guide discussions of departures. 3. The third issue is with regards to apportioning the debt between centre and states. The 14thFinance Commission has gone for greater devolution of taxes to the states which should mean that the fiscal capacity of the central government, ideally needs to be enhanced through a liberal limit on the FD of central government vis a vis the states. For distribution of deficit targets among the various states, we must ensure that states with greater debt burden and lower growth potential should be allowed to borrow less. These states should be helped through greater grants instead of allowing them greater borrowing limits in light of sustainability of debt 4. It is also argued that the current FD targets are not flexible which makes it difficult for the government to adhere to it when the going gets tough. This can happen, for instance, when there is widespread drought, or when exports go down. - In a cyclical downturn, it doesn’t make sense to be rigid with FRBM targets. Instead, we should allow the deficit to exceed the target in a structurally adjusted manner as a counter cyclical measure. The structurally adjusted deficit is what the deficit would have been if the cyclical shocks had not occurred. And the approach must be symmetric when positive shocks produce an unexpected gain in revenue, the observed fiscal deficit should be lower than the target - Flexibility may also be needed because of non-cyclical shocks, for example, a permanent increase in oil prices. In such a situation the correct approach is to go back to the drawing board, work out the implications for GDP growth and revenues, and determine a new fiscal trajectory, which takes appropriate account of crowding out and the debt/GDP ratio. 5. Both the Thirteenth Finance Commission and the Fourteenth Finance Commission recommended the establishment of an autonomous body to review fiscal performance under the FRBM Act.
