Over 60% of the State’s revenue came from taxes. Non-tax revenue (revenue from interest receipts, dividends, general services, social services and economic services) made up 13.76% of the estimated revenue receipts.
Revenue expenditure for social services increased from ₹81.1 thousand crores in 2024-25 (revised estimates) to ₹1.1 lakh crores in 2025-26 (budget estimates), the highest increase among social, general and economic services receipts.
