‘Extra Budgetary Resources’ (EBR) or ‘Off-budget resources’ are loans taken by public sector
undertakings and Government organizations. (सरकारी �नगम सं �ानों द्वारा कजर् �लया जाना)For example,
⇒ Interest Rate Growth Rate Differential (IRGD: �ण-�ाज-दर वृ�द्ध-दर के बीच अंतर): It is the difference
between (loan) interest rate (paid by Govt to investors) and GDP growth rate in an economy.
⇒ so if loan interest 6% - minus growth rate 9% = (-3)% negative IRGD figure basically hints that if
GDP Growth rate is higher than the loan interest rate paid by the govt, then Govt need not worry
much, because GDP� � → Tax collection � → Enough ₹₹ to repay those loans. यिद सरकार ने �जस
�ाज दर पर कजार् �लया है उसे आ�थक वृ�द्ध दर �ादा हो तब तक सरकार ने �चतं ा करने क� ज�रत नहीं �ोंिक आ�थक वृ�द्ध के

INPUT-BASED FINANCING RESULT-BASED FINANCING
⇒ Government will pay money for ⇒ Govt will define results e.g. daily 15km
purchase of inputs. road constructed, minimum 80% of skill
⇒ Then officials/contractor will trainees must get job placement etc.
built road/college, provide skill ⇒ if result not achieved then govt may not
training etc. pay full amount / cut penalty.
�Budget-2023: for selected govt schemes, we’ll shift from ‘input-based financing’ to ‘result-based
financing’. (कुछ चिु नदं ा सरकारी योजनाओ ं के िलए, हम ‘इनपटु -आधा�रत िव�पोषण’ क� जगह, ‘प�रणाम-आधा�रत िव�पोषण’ का अमल
करें गे. यािन क� सरकार द्वारा तय प�रणाम/सचू कांकों को ठे केदार/अफसर हांिसल नहीं कर पाया तो पैसा नहीं िमलेगा/काट िदया )
