The Union government reported a fiscal deficit of ₹5.98 lakh crore for April-August, amounting to 38.1% of the target for the entire 2025-26 fiscal year, according to data released by the Controller General of Accounts on Tuesday.
For the same period last year, the fiscal deficit was ₹4.35 lakh crore.
