Answer:

stimulating a stagnant economy by increasing spending or lowering taxes, also known as expansionary fiscal policy, runs the risk of causing inflation to rise.

With more money in the economy and less taxes to pay, consumer demand for goods and services increases.

If inflation threatens, the central bank uses contractionary monetary policy to reduce the money supply, reduce the quantity of loans, raise interest rates, and shift aggregate demand to the left.

Answer:

Fiscal policy is a crucial part of the economic framework. In India, it plays a key role in elevating the rate of capital formation, both in the public and private sectors.

The fiscal policy helps mobilise resources for financing projects. The central theme of fiscal policy includes development activities like expenditure on railways, infrastructure, etc. Non-development activities include spending on subsidies, salaries, pensions, etc. It gives incentives to the private sector to expand its activities.

Fiscal policy aims to minimise income and wealth inequalities. Income tax is charged on all salaried persons directly proportioned to their income. Likely indirect taxes are also more in the case of semi-luxury and luxury items than that of necessary consumable items. In this way, the government generates a good amount of revenue and that also leads to a reduction in wealth inequalities.

A prudent fiscal policy stabilises price and helps control inflation.

Fiscal policy planning gives the larger chunk of funds for regional development so as to achieve a balanced regional development. It aims to reduce the deficit in the balance of payment.

Difference between monetary policy and fiscal policy

Monetary policy is concerned with the management of interest rates and the total supply of money in circulation. It is generally carried out by the RBI.

Fiscal policy, on the other hand, estimates taxation and government spending. It should ideally be in line with the monetary policy, but since it is created by lawmakers, people's interest often takes precedence over growth.
