He said Jammu and Kashmir continues to face fiscal stress due to high committed expenditure and limited own-revenue capacity, with tax and non-tax revenues meeting only about 25 per cent of budgetary needs.
Salaries, pensions and debt servicing account for nearly 60 per cent of the overall outlay, he said, adding that the government was taking steps to rationalise spending and improve fiscal transparency.
In his budget speech in the assembly, Abdullah said his government has been actively engaging with the Centre to resolve fiscal issues and secure additional financial assistance.
“Jammu and Kashmir continues to face significant infrastructure deficits… Substantial financial resources and continued support from the Central Government are essential,” he said, adding that he had held multiple meetings with the Union Home Minister as well as the Finance Minister to highlight the UT’s requirements.
As a result of these meetings, J&K has been brought under the Special Assistance to States for Capital Investment (SASCI) scheme, which provides 50-year interest-free loans for infrastructure and capital investment projects, the Chief Minister said.
He said Rs 1,431 crore has been utilised for accelerating key infrastructure projects, including hydroelectric power projects, and the Centre has approved an additional Rs 1,431 crore each for further capital works, disaster mitigation and restoration works.
