7% hike with 3.8% inflation. Very modest hike. Has been stagnant for the past 6-7 years now.


Central Government also assured additional fund allocation on defence if need arises. Don't worry!

Also, lots of unused defence budget from previous years are also there.
Empty rhetoric. Need is obviously there for MASSIVE hike in defence spending if they have the funds to give later why not allocate it from
The start? Most of this budget will be swallowed up by salaries, and then these politicians have the b@lls to talk about modernisation.

And defence budgets that aren’t spent get returned to the FIN MIN at the end of every FY. There is no way for funds that don’t get spent in previous years to be used in latter years.

I don't think there's been any year when the entire budget was used up!
Which goes to say that the defense bureaucracy (fondly referred to as MoD) is the primary enemy. Funds get allocated but the decision to spend them are ALWAYS delayed by years and sometimes by decades! As such the allocated money is actually LOST to the common pool.....

It not quite accurate. Funds are allocated only knowing that they will not be used. That way the government shows off its commitment to the armed forces at budget time and the press reports it and the likes of us don’t see it for what it, a magician’s sleight of hand. The babus know what is expected of them, to give back what they never really had in the first place. No government in the recent past and it unfortunately includes this one, are doing anything other than this sleight of hand. UPA pretty much destroyed the economy and this government has barely managed to keep its head above water. There are no funds for defence and with all this minimum income crap going around, I’m afraid that there never will be.

Politicians have b@lls, They lie openly and we are the gullible lot. There are no funds for defence and it is not a priority, for this government anymore than it was for the previous one. When everyone was cheering for OROP, maybe they should have thought of the consequences. Did they think GoI was going to get the funds for that from thin air? That takes out 50000 crores (ballpark figure) in 5 years. If you have any doubt over why we get only 36 Rafales and a couple of 100 artillery guns in 15 years, this is it.

Defence budget pegged at Rs 3.18 lakh crore


New Delhi, Feb 1 The defence budget was increased by 6.87 per cent to Rs 3.18 lakh crore against last year's allocation of Rs 2.98 lakh crore, notwithstanding expectations of a major hike when China and Pakistan were bolstering their military capabilities.

Out of the total allocation, Rs 1,08,248 crore has been set aside for capital outlay for the year 2019-2020 to purchase new weapons, aircraft, warships and other military hardware. Last year, the government allocated Rs 93,982 crore as capital outlay.

The defence ministry said the total allocation of Rs 3,18,931 crore in defence budget is an increase of 6.87 per cent over revised estimate of Rs 2,98,418 crore for 2018-19.

The total outlay does not include Rs 1,12,079 crore set aside for payment of pensions.

"The allocation for capital expenditure is totally inadequate given the kind of modernisation our armed forces are envisaging," said Dr Laxman Behera of Institute of Defence Studies and Analysis.

Behera said the defence budget is around 1.44 per cent of the GDP which, he called as "insufficient" considering the evolving security situation in India's neighbourhood.

Presenting the interim budget for 2019-20 in Parliament, Union Minister for Finance and Corporate Affairs Piyush Goyal said additional funds, if necessary, would be provided to secure India's borders and maintain its defence preparedness.

"Our defence budget will be crossing Rs 3,00,000 crore for the first time in 2019-20. For securing our borders and to maintain preparedness of the highest order, if necessary, additional funds would be provided," he said.

Under capital outlay, the Army was granted Rs 29,447 crore, the Navy was given Rs 23,156 crore and the Indian Air Force got an allocation of Rs 39,302 crore.

The revenue expenditure which includes expenses on payment of salaries and maintenance of establishments has been pegged at Rs 2,10,682 crore as against Rs 1,88,118 crore for 2018-19.

Experts said Goyal's budget was an interim budget and the allocation for defence forces may change when a full-fledged budget is presented by the new government after the Lok Sabha polls.

The defence ministry said the capital outlay for armed forces is 32.19 per cent of the government's total capital expenditure of Rs 3,36,293 crore. It said the total defence allocation including for funds for pensions accounted for 15.48 per cent of the total central government expenditure.

Earlier the Press Information Bureau pegged the defence budget at Rs 3,05,296 crore. But later, the defence ministry put the total allocation at Rs 3,18,931 crore.

Officials said the final amount of defence budget included funds set aside for Border Roads Organisation, Coast Guards and allocation made for payment of salaries and allowances to civil staff of the defence ministry.

In his budget speech, Goyal also referred to government's efforts to strengthen defence and national security and said due care will be taken of the soldiers who protect India's borders in tough conditions.

He said the issue of One Rank One Pension (OROP) which was pending for the last 40 years has been resolved.

"The previous governments announced it in three budgets but sanctioned a mere Rs 500 crore in 2014-15 interim budget. In contrast we have already disbursed over Rs 35,000 crore after implementing the scheme in its true spirit," he said.

He said the government also announced substantial hike in the Military Service Pay (MSP) of all service personnel and special allowances were given to naval and air force. MPB ZMN

Wasn't SIMI banned a long time ago?

Is this an extension of that ban?
