Expenditure Management Commission News
The Expenditure Management Commission set up by the government to suggest ways to rationalise subsidies will submit its final report by December 2015, its Chairman Bimal Jalan said on Thursday.
Ahead of the Budget, the Expenditure Management Commission, headed by Bimal Jalan, has recommended to the government that it cut fiscal deficit to 3.6 percent of the GDP during 2015-16.
The Centre had set up a Commission under former RBI Governor Bimal Jalan to suggest steps to rationalise subsidy and help the government in effectively bringing down the fiscal deficit.
The EMC is being set up following the announcement made by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in the Budget 2014-15.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Friday said the fiscal deficit target of 4.1 percent of GDP for the current fiscal is a "daunting" task and announced the subsidy bill will be reduced progressively.
