The Central Government of India will be taking a massive loan of Rs 8.45 Crore from the market during the half yearly period of April to September this year. The fund will be taken from the market to bridge the gap of economic deficit that government faced due to the COVID pandemic lockdown and shut down.
Out of the gross market borrowing of Rs 14.31 lakh crore estimated for the next financial year, Rs 8.45 lakh crore is planned to be borrowed in the first half or April-September period.
