The term fiscal deficit means
Answer: B
It is total receipts minus total expenditure, where receipts exclude borrowings.
\[\text{Fiscal deficit} = \text{Total expenditure} - (\text{Revenue receipts} + \text{Non-debt capital receipts})\] It measures the government's entire borrowing requirement for the year, and so its addition to the stock of public debt.
