Analysis of 20 lakh crore package distribution :
- The Rs. 20 lakh crore package includes mention in below-
- Rs 1.7 lakh crores for free food grains to poor,cash to women & elderly relief announced in March,2020 under PM Garib Kalyan Yojana.
- Reserve bank liquidity measures & interest rate cuts around Rs.6.5 lakh crore. Recently RBI has given a liquidity on March,2020. Liquidity means provide more loan in cheaper rate to our industry,corporate sector. So that they can expense more and demand can increase. As you know RBI given also Rs.50000 to mutual fund. So in totality RBI given Rs. 6.5 lakh crore to boost economy. Hence the total amount will be around Rs. 8 lakh crore considering amount of Rs. 1.7 crore. So Government already announce 4% of Total GDP. Remaining 6% of GDP announce recently,i.e. almost Rs. 12 lakh crore.
From where money will be originate :
- As you know it is a huge amount and everyone have quarries that from where money will comes from. As you know friends that Indian government already loss Rs.4 lakh crore revenue due to 2 months lockdown. It is not possible to say how long lockdown will last,can't predict.
- Government did announcement rupees 2.1 lakh crore earning through disinvestment,example like LIC IPO etc. Hence it won't come through this.
- So government decided to borrow Rupees 12 lakh crore in the financial year 2020-2021. Government may follow two steps either through "Bond" or "Monetization of Deficit". Monetized deficit is when government prints money in order to pay its deficits.But the government has not yet said anything,so we won't consider it now. Most probably borrow from bank or RBI.The government will do it in the coming days.
- Indian finance Minister Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman already held a press conference in-front of media on 13 th May,2020 related to detail discussion of the same.
