Field notes
The overview distinguishes the 2026 Appropriation Bill from provisional 2025 outturns attributed to the Central Bank, and notes that the 2025 spending comparison excludes loan-principal repayments. Readers can switch between amounts as printed and inflation-adjusted values in selected price-year rupees, then navigate to ministry, debt, revenue, and cross-year views. An explanation of loan repayments notes that maturing debt may be refinanced rather than paid from current revenue.
