Updated

Bengaluru, Feb 16 (IANS): Karnataka Chief Minister K. Siddaramaiah on Friday presented a revenue deficit state budget for the year 2024-25 with a total outlay of Rs 3.71 lakh crore.

Siddaramaiah, who also holds the Finance portfolio, said: "I am presenting a revenue deficit budget... I have increased the budgetary allocation for Welfare programmes to Rs 1,20,373 crore. Further I have successfully ensured fiscal consolidation by keeping the fiscal deficit within 3 per cent of GSDP and total outstanding liabilities within 25 per cent of GSDP without compromising the Capital Expenditure."

In 2024-25, Rs 86,423 crore will be provided for women oriented schemes and Rs 54,617 crore will be provided for children oriented schemes.

Siddaramaiah said: "Total revenue receipts of Rs 2,63,178 crore are estimated for 2024-25, out of which Rs 1,89,893 crore are State own tax revenues and Rs 13,500 crore from non-tax revenue sources. A total of Rs 44,485 crore under tax devolution and Rs 15,300 crore as Grant-in-aid are estimated to be received from the Centre.

"Total Expenditure for 2024-25 is estimated to be Rs 3,71,383 crore, which includes Revenue expenditure of Rs 2,90,531 crore, Capital Expenditure of Rs 55,877 crore and loan repayment of Rs 24,974 crore," Siddaramaiah said.

For the financial year 2024-25, revenue deficit is estimated to be Rs 27,354 crore. Fiscal Deficit is estimated to be Rs 82,981 crore, which is 2.95 per cent of GSDP. Total liabilities at the end of 2024-25 is estimated to be Rs. 6,65,095 crore, which is 23.68 per cent of GSDP, he stated.

"Our vision for the future is not limited to the Guarantee scheme. Amid the successful implementation of Guarantee schemes during the past nine months, the state government has given Cabinet approval to works worth Rs 21,168 crore and revised estimates of Rs 2,230 crore have been approved. Further, an Action Plan for Rs 2,188 crore has also been approved," he said.

"Social Justice is not just our belief, but a broader perspective towards life. The Kayaka and Dasoha principles of Basavadi Sharanas inspire us towards building an equal society. The Sharana philosophy of setting aside a part of one's earnings for dasoha underpins our hope of achieving an equitable distribution of wealth in society," he said.

The chief minister earmarked 52,000 crore for implementation of five guarantee schemes of Shakti, Gruhajyoti, Gruha Lakshmi, Yuva Nidhi and Annabhagya.

"Bengaluru will be transformed into a truly global city with world-class infrastructure. We will work to attract global corporate talent in the emerging areas within the IT and BT sector, Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, Semiconductors, Automobiles," he said.

"A separate Project Division and two sub-divisions have already been set up to implement the ambitious Mekedatu Balancing Reservoir and drinking water project of Cauvery river valley.

Priority will be given to land acquisition and resettlement and rehabilitation as well as to complete sub-schemes under North Karnataka's ambitious Upper Krishna Phase-III Project, Siddaramaiah said.

"As announced in the previous Budget, the State Education Policy Commission has been formed to prepare a draft Karnataka State Education Policy which truly reflects the culture and identity of the State," he said.

For former devadasis, monthly allowance has been increased from Rs 1,500 to Rs 2,000, Siddaramaiah said.

This budget will pave the way for creating a new Karnataka Model of Development, he said.

Earlier report

Chief minister Siddaramaiah set to present Karnataka Budget 2024

Bengaluru, Feb 16 (IANS): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is all set to present the state budget on Friday in the Assembly here.

This will be his 15th budget presentation and eighth as the chief minister, which is the highest by any CM in the state.

All eyes are on the revenue generation mechanism for the five guarantee schemes which are expected to cost the government Rs 50,000 crore to Rs 60,000 crore annually.

The opposition BJP and JD(S) have been claiming that the guarantee schemes have drained the treasury of the state and the government is unable to take up any development work.

CM Siddaramaiah had presented a budget with a total outlay of 3.27 lakh crore in 2023-24. According to sources, the CM is all set to present the budget with an outlay of Rs 3.80 lakh crore. The credits are expected to cross Rs 1 lakh crore.

The CM is also likely to announce the creation of new districts from existing Belagavi and Tumakuru districts.

Ahead of the budget presentation, the CM will chair a special cabinet meeting to get the approval for the budget.

BJP's state President B.Y. Vijayendra said that they have no expectation from the state budget. Taking to social media, he said on Thursday that the state budget will be a "bundle of lies and loans".

    Congratulate Siddu for setting target on alcohol deaddiction for poor and middle class. Next step should be to bring drugs under the ambit of excise department and make its sale legal through licensed outlets. That way, those that can afford to either pay flight ticket to Goa or states where alcohol and drugs are cheap, rich will fly there and consume and the poor people will live happily ever after by riding free bus rides and enjoying free electricity.
