General Knowledge - Indian Economy - Discussion

I am agree with rekha defense expenditure is related to our security and power, not belong to our development.

Yes, development expenditure does not include defense expenditure by central government but I think that there should be consider defense expenditure as developmental expenditure because today India is not safe by her enemy countries and terrorist. So govt. Should increase expenditure in defense.

If think about countries long term stability with out any interruption of civil wars, help to development in all the aspects of the economy and this will be a development expenditure when consider the damage's and interruption done by the civil wars and creation instability of the economy.

Development expenditure relates to development of a country where as defense expenditure is subjected to power and security.

I'm also agree with Chaitanya

A) Defence expenditure.

Explaination-All expenditures that promote economic growth and development are termed as development expenditure. Expenditure on infrastructure development, public enterprises or development of agriculture increase productive capacity in the economy and bring income to the government.

Expenditures in the nature of consumption such as Defence, interest payments, expenditure on law and order, public administration, do not create any productive asset which can bring income or returns to the government are non-development expenditure.

Central government should have separate expenditure for Defence.

Because, it doesn't come under development.

Yes I'm agree defence is not come under development.

Ya that is not development expenditure because they protection to the country.
