      Solution

      The fiscal deficit of the central government dropped to 0.8% of the Budget Estimate (BE) for FY26 by the end of May 2025, primarily due to a record dividend payout from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). This is a sharp fall compared to the 11.9% in April 2025, reflecting improved fiscal management in the early months of the financial year.
