Net tax receipts were 12.16 trillion rupees, while total expenditure was 28.19 trillion rupees, the data showed.
On February 1, the government revised its fiscal deficit target for the current year that runs through March to 9.5% of gross domestic product (GDP), instead of its original target of 3.5% of GDP as the coronavirus pandemic led to lower tax collection and higher spending.
