SSC CGL Budget Mock Test 2026: 50 Important Economy Questions

Budget is one of those Economy topics where the chapter looks small, but the terms start mixing very quickly. Revenue receipt, capital receipt, revenue expenditure, fiscal deficit and primary deficit may look similar when you are revising them together.

Budget questions become much easier when you stop learning every term separately. First look at whether money is coming to the government or going out. After that, check whether it creates a liability, reduces an asset, creates an asset or is simply part of regular government activity.

For example, borrowing brings money to the government, but it also creates a liability. That is why it is a capital receipt. Salary also involves government spending, but it does not normally create a capital asset, so it is treated as revenue expenditure.

This mock test focuses on Budget basics, receipts, taxes, expenditure, deficits, government funds and fiscal policy. I have kept changing yearly Budget figures out of the questions so that you can use this page for concept revision instead of memorising numbers that may later change.

One simple question

Is the government receiving money or spending money?

Ask this first. Then decide whether the transaction belongs to the revenue side or capital side. This small habit removes a lot of Budget confusion.

After the Test

Revise the classification, not just the answer

If you get a Budget question wrong, first check what confused you. Was it receipt versus expenditure, revenue versus capital, or one deficit formula versus another? Once you identify that difference, revision becomes much faster.

Borrowing received? It creates liability, so think capital receipt.

Salary or interest paid? These are commonly treated as revenue expenditure.

Asset created? Check whether the spending fits capital expenditure.

Deficit question? Write the formula before looking at the options.
