KEY POINTS
· A real GDP growth of 7.8 per cent would be required in 2021-22 to reach back to 2019-20 real GDP levels.
· It is also important to consider nominal GDP growth for 2021-22 since that would be a critical determinant of fiscal prospects.
· In the light of supply-side and cost-push pressures, the RBI has projected CPI inflation at 5.1 per cent.
· The government and the RBI are keen to keep the interest rate low despite this heavy borrowing.
Centre needs to do
· An increase in the provision for income support measures for the vulnerable rural and urban population.
· This would require an amount of Rs 1 lakh crore which may be partly provided through expenditure restructuring.
· In light of the recent decision, the budgeted expenditure on vaccination of Rs 0.35 lakh crore ought to be augmented, at the very least, doubled.
· Additional capital expenditure for select sectors, particularly healthcare, should also be provided for. This may be another Rs 1 lakh crore.
· Government need to plan for a fiscal deficit of about 7.9 per cent of GDP.
· The household sector’s appetite for financial assets may not increase. The external sector’s demand for Indian sovereign bonds may also be lukewarm.

Measures are written separately, writing under one heading improves interconnection of different aspects and improves coherence in the answer.
