Problems of fiscal management in the government

The book deals with crucial areas of fiscal management in the government in post-Independent India. It touches theoretical as well as practical aspects of the issues covered, in the light of the author's own experience spanning more than three decades in the C.A.G.'s organisation and the Government of India. How far Parliament, the Ministry of Finance, the R.B.I. and the C.A.G. have succeeded in providing efficient financial admini stration to the country and in ensuring accountability of the executive has been brought out with candour. The budgetary concepts and techniques in India and elsewhere. the debt burden of the country and limiting the Government's power of borrowing are subjects which should interest all sections of readers. The inadequacies of a Civil Service system to deal with the new economic policies, the ad-hocism of disinvestment process and tax administration system are some of the other subjects dealt in the book.
