    New Delhi: The Central government’s fiscal deficit in the first four months (April-July) of the current financial year stands at Rs 2.77 lakh crore which works out to 17.2 per cent of the full-year target and is lower than the corresponding figure of 33.9 per cent in the same period last year, according to official data released on Friday.

    The data showed that net tax receipts for the period stood at Rs 7.15 lakh crore, or 27.7 per cent of the annual target, which is higher compared with Rs 5.83 lakh crore for the same period last year.The total government expenditure during the period was Rs 13 lakh crore or about 27 percent of the annual target.

    “The Government of India’s fiscal deficit more than halved to Rs 2.8 lakh crore or 18 per cent of the FY 2025 budget estimate in April-July FY2025, from Rs. 6.1 lakh crore in April-July FY2024,” ICRA chief economist Aditi Nayar said. .

    Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has fixed the fiscal deficit at 4.9 per cent of GDP in the Union Budget 2024-25 down from 5.6 per cent in 2023-24, as part of the government’s policy of sticking to the fiscal consolidation path.

    “The gross and net market borrowings through dated securities during 2024-25 are estimated at Rs 14.01 lakh crore and Rs 11.63 lakh crore respectively. Both will be less than that in 2023-24,” she said.

    The reduced borrowings by the government will leave more money in the banking system for companies to borrow for investments which will help to spur growth and create more jobs. Sitharaman said that for FY 2024-25, the total receipts other than borrowings and the total expenditure are estimated at Rs 32.07 lakh crore and Rs 48.21 lakh crore, respectively.

    The net tax receipts are estimated at Rs 25.83 lakh crore. “The fiscal consolidation path announced in 2021 has served our economy very well, and we aim to reach a deficit below 4.5 per cent next year,” the Finance Minister said in her budget speech.

  • ‘Avoid social media…’: Ramiz Raja’s Advice To Struggling Babar Azam | cricket news

    Former Pakistan batsman and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman, Ramiz Raja urged star batsman Babar Azam to stay off social media as he continues his struggle with poor form. Babar scored a duck in the first innings and made just 22 runs in the second innings as Pakistan slipped to a ten-wicket loss to Bangladesh in the first Test and are trailing in the series by 1-0. He has scored just 275 runs in his last seven Tests and 13 innings at an average of 21.15, with the best score of 41.

    Speaking on his YouTube channel recently, Ramiz said that Babar has become a “headline” in this age of social media because he has not been able to score runs. (PAK vs BAN: Pakistan Drop Shaheen Afridi For 2nd Test Against Bangladesh, Know Reason Here)

    He called for discouraging immense criticism and trolling on the internet. He also urged Babar to “stay in the moment”, taking note of the visible worried Babar is going through as a batter.

    “It seems the entire nation does not have a problem with anything except the form of Babar Azam. Unfortunately what happens is when you lose a match and you have not scored runs and if you are Babar Azam, then you become a headline – How did What did he do? And then this is the era of Social Media, this should be discouraged as much as possible.

    “Cricket is in our blood but don’t know for how long if we continue to lose matches like this in Test cricket. Fan following increases with wins and fans identify themselves with success stories. Babar Azam has had a famous success story. There is no doubt that he has been a big player in all three formats,” he said.

    “So what does he have to do? First, avoid social media. Second, stay in the moment. When you are not able to score runs, it becomes a mental game and you start second-guessing. So you start worrying and that worrisome. look is evident on Babar’s face, so frustration will be there,” the former cricketer concluded his point.

    Ramiz said that in the last innings he played, he was bowled off an inside edge and it means that his “batting angles are not right”.

    “You lose your frame because you aren’t spending much time on the crease. If you are playing forward, commit fully, if on the back foot, then use the crease. Practice hook and pull shots a lot, because then you focus on the ball a lot,” he concluded.

    In the first Test, Bangladesh put Pakistan to bat first, who scored 448/6 declared, thanks to centuries from Mohammed Rizwan (171) and Saud Shakeel (141). Then Pakistan went on to concede 565 runs in Bangladesh’s first innings, riding on contributions from Mushfiqur Rahim (191), Shadman Islam (93) and Mehidy Hasan Miraz (77).

    Bangladesh having the lead of 117 runs, bundled out Pakistan for just 146 runs in their second innings, setting up a target of just 30 runs, which Bangladesh chased down easily without losing any wicket. The second Test will start on Friday at Rawalpindi.

    Following his side’s 3–0 win over Real Valladolid in La Liga at the Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti said that the team is “pleased” with the victory. Federico Valverde, Brahim Diaz and Endrick’s goals helped the Los Blancos clinch three crucial points after beating Valladolid.

    Speaking at the post-match press conference, Ancelotti said that they have improved defensively in the match.

    “We have to be pleased with the win. We have to remember the problems we encountered, especially in the first half. We improved defensively. The rhythm of the first half was loose and slow. We were more energetic up front in the second half and had more mobility on the ball,” Ancelotti was quoted by Real Madrid’s official website as saying.

    The head coach added that the whole team was better as a unit in the match.

    “The team played closer together and got the ball back quickly when we lost it. They were better defensively than in the Mallorca game. It’s not just the forwards who were better; we were better as a unit today,” he added.

    When asked about Kylian Mbappe’s performance, the Italian coach praised the French striker and called him a “superb” forward.

    “He’s a superb forward, very quick, he has good movement off the ball, he attacks the back and he’s had three or four chances that he’s created with his movement. He’s going to score in that position because he always has. He doesn’ t need to play on the left or centrally all the time because he’s going to score a lot of goals,” he further added. The Los Blancos are currently placed in the fourth place on the standings with four points. In the upcoming match, Real Madrid will lock horns against Las Palmas on August 30. (With ANI Inputs)
