The Government should monitor Receipts and Expenditure continuously for ensuring adherence to the Act ibid. Revised Estimates and Actuals: There had been wide variations in the Revised Estimates and the Actual Expenditure due to lesser expenditure from what was estimated in the Revised Budget 2011-12, leading to improvement in key deficit indicators. Adequate measures be initiated by the Government in regard to fiscal management and continuous monitoring in order to bridge the gap between the wide variations in the Revised Estimates and Actual Expenditure.
