Maharashtra is the second largest State in India, in terms of population and third in terms of geographical area. The State has shown higher economic growth in the past decade as the compound annual growth rate of its Gross State Domestic Product for the period 2004-05 to 2013-14 has been 16.73 per cent as compared to 15.49 per cent in the General Category States of the country. The population below the poverty line in Maharashtra (17.35 per cent) is lower than the all India average of 21.92 per cent. During the above mentioned period, its population grew by 16 percent against 12.94 per cent in General Category States. However, the per capita income compound annual growth rate in Maharashtra (14.83 per cent) has been lower than that of the General Category States (14.88 per cent) in the current decade.
This Report on the Finances of the Government of Maharashtra is being brought out with a view to objectively assess the financial performance of the State during 2013-14 and to provide the State Government and State Legislature with timely inputs based on audit analysis of financial data.
