2. Receipt Analysis (Income)

The total receipts are split into Revenue Receipts and Capital Receipts.

Revenue receipts are seeing a healthy increase from last year's budget of ₹108,415,627.

• Tax Revenues: Increased from ₹12.4 million to ₹16.11 million, driven heavily by an increase in Property Tax (General) up to ₹11.56 million.
• Fees & User Charges: Decreased significantly from ₹11.35 million to ₹4.01 million, primarily because a major "Other Fees" item worth ₹7 million from the previous budget dropped to zero.

A. Revenue Expenditure (Projected: ₹267,225,426)
