Data limitations: Budget data comes from AP Finance Budget in Brief volumes, CAG Accounts at a Glance, and PRS India analyses of AP government budget documents. Headline fiscal cards use the newest Actuals or Revised Estimates row; Budget Estimates remain in the table and charts for forward context. The 2013-14 row is undivided Andhra Pradesh, and the 2014-15 CAG row covers 02 June 2014 to 31 March 2015 after state reorganisation. Off-budget borrowings through state corporations (flagged by CAG) are shown separately and not included in official fiscal deficit figures. Sales Tax/VAT figures may show discontinuities due to GST reclassification in 2017.

This page shows budget-level data compiled from AP Finance Department Budget in Brief volumes, CAG Accounts at a Glance, and PRS India analyses of AP budget documents. The 2013-14 row is actuals for undivided Andhra Pradesh before Telangana bifurcation; the 2014-15 row uses CAG actuals for 02 June 2014 to 31 March 2015. Official fiscal deficit numbers do not include off-budget borrowings by state PSUs/corporations, which CAG reports have flagged as significant. Corporation debt is shown separately below.
