Post on 22-Jan-2023
Hon’ble Speaker,
1. I present the Budget for the year 2014-15.
2. This is the second budget of our Government.
In my opinion, Budget is not a document of estimates
alone. This is an official document reflecting insights
and aspirations of the Government and economic
strength of the State. In this regard, the Budget for
2014-15 being presented by me is a document of our
ambition for comprehensive inclusive growth and all
round development of the State.
3. In the last Assembly election, we gave a promise
to the people to provide clean, robust and transparent
administration. The people reposed faith in our
promise and gave a mandate to us in the last Assembly
elections. Honouring the mandate from the people,
we have delivered on most of our promises in a short
period itself. The confidence of the people is the oxygen
for elected Government in parliamentary system of
democracy. The clean, robust and transparent
administration provided by us in the past nine months
is indicative of this achievement.
Budget 2014 - 152
4. In the last year’s budget document, we had
announced various people oriented and
developmental schemes. Most of those schemes have
already been implemented. “Annabhagya” Scheme
announced by the Government immediately on
assumption of power has eliminated hunger of one
crore families of our State and brought them
happiness. Loan waiver of Rs.1368 crore for
Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, Backward Classes
and Minorities has brought smiles on the faces of
these people. Waiver of Rs.319 crore towards pending
bills of “Kuteerjyothi” Scheme has lit a lamp in the
houses of the poor. Incentive amount of Rs.818 crore
given to about 7.4 lakh Co-operative milk producers
has increased their income.
5. Welfare of agriculturists is the first priority of
our Government. Accordingly, Agriculture Price
Commission has been formed already to fix
remunerative price for the farmers’ produce. Loans
upto Rs.2 lakh at 0% interest rate has been provided
to farmers. We are committed to utilize water resource
potential for the agriculture. We have taken
comprehensive measures to instill confidence in
farmers and enhance respect for agriculture
profession.
Budget 2014 - 15 3
6. The prestigious scheme of our Government
“Ksheerabhagya” is improving nutrition levels of more
than one crore children through supply of free milk
in Anganavadi and Schools. The insertion of
Article 371J in the Constitution facilitated by strong
concerns of our Government, has paved the way for
the rise of Hyderabad Karnataka region. We have
made a significant achievement by constructing 2.5
lakh houses so far towards the goal of making the
State free of huts. We have taken big strides for
creation of urban basic infrastructure
7. Our Government strongly believes that
providing food to the hungry, health for peaceful life,
a roof for living, education for self reliance,
employment for working hands, results befitting the
efforts, protection for weaker sections should be
priorities of a responsible Government.
8. Like the previous year’s budget, this year’s
budget is also based on a foundation of Social justice
and consists of several programmes for the
development of the people deprived of opportunities.
“Inclusive and all round development” is the basic
goal of our budget. Through these programmes, we
will endeavour to build happy, peaceful and strong
Karnataka.
Budget 2014 - 154
9. We have strengthened our financial resources
with determination despite the shadow of economic
slowdown in the country. We have controlled leakage
of our income. We have overcome the economic
slowdown through resource mobilization measures.
Provision of adequate funding for the budgeted
schemes inspite of the difficulties is evidence of our
sound financial management.
10. Improvements have been made by providing
required funds for electricity and infrastructure
development. “Rajiv Gandhi Arogyashree” Scheme has
been implemented for people above the poverty line.
For backward class students, a new scheme “Vidyasiri”
has been formulated. “Manasvini” scheme for
unmarried women and “Maithri” scheme for sexual
minorities have provided assurance in their lives.
Implementation of 15 point progress based
programme for village development is realising the
rural development dream of Mahatma Gandhi.
11. Political stability, skill based human resources,
improvements in basic infrastructure, and, efficient
administration system in our State has drawn
attention of the industrialists from all over the world.
New Information Technology Policy has been
Budget 2014 - 15 5
announced. New Industrial Policy will be announced
soon. Rural and Urban Development are like two
wheels of our march on the path of progress.
State’s Economy
12. The State’s economy in 2013-14 was influenced
by the slowdown in the National Economy and slow
global recovery. It is estimated that the State Domestic
Product grew at a rate of 5 % during 2013-14. Due to
slow down, industrial sector growth is estimated to
be 1.2 %. The growth in the services sector that
contributes 60 % of the SDP has been estimated to
be 7.2 %.
13. After recording a -4.9% growth in 2012-13,
Agricultural sector has staged noticeable recovery. It
gives me pleasure to inform the Honourable House
that the Agricutural sector is estimated to record a
growth of 3.6 % during 2013-14. Our Government
policy of strong thrust to agricultural sector and timely
availability of agricultural credit have galvanized the
sector. The Loan waiver scheme of our Government
has helped to reduce the loan burden on the
agricultural community.
Budget 2014 - 156
14. While acknowledging the challenges that the
economic condition presents, I would like to assure
that my Government will put the economy of the State
on a high growth path, by formulating and
implementing growth promoting policies.
Overall Economic Position
15. The challenging economic environment is still
continuing due to emerging market economies and
slow down of the national economy. Still, a recovery
of the national economy is expected. Riding on the
growth of 4.6 % in agriculture sector, Indian economy
is expected to achieve a growth rate of 4.9 % during
2013-14.
16. We need to be cautious about the growing
inflation, which can slow down investments and
growth. We believe that Government of india and the
Reserve Bank of India will take necessary steps for
Economic and financial stability in the background
of uncertain external environment. Prime Minister’s
Economic Advisory Council in its Economic Forecast
has estimated the National GDP growth to be 5.3 %
during 2013-14, which though less, indicates clear
signs of economic recovery.
Budget 2014 - 15 7
17. The growth in investment rate and in GSDP of
the State will be dependent on progressive
improvement in economic policy environment, removal
of barriers to investment, fiscal deficit and control &
stabilization of inflation.
State’s Financial Position
Plan Performance in 2013-14
18. The State Plan size for 2013-14 was fixed at
Rs.48685 crore. This included support of Rs.41683
crore from the State budgetary resources and Rs.7002
crore as resources of Public Sector Enterprises. Total
plan expenditure of the State including the share of
Central Government is estimated at Rs. 50847 crore.
This House had approved additional plan expenditure
based on additional demands from various
departments.
19. The revised estimates indicate that the State
plan during 2013-14 has largely been implemented.
Annual Plan 2014-15
20. Government of India has reformulated all
existing Centrally Sponsored Schemes into 66
schemes. The funds transfer for these schemes has
been re-classified. From 2014-15 onwards central
Budget 2014 - 158
assistance for these schemes will be through the State
Budget. As a result, these resources will also be part
of the State Plan in future.
21. I am happy to announce that the Annual Plan
for 2014-15 has been fixed at Rs 65,600 crore. This
includes Rs.57,687 crore to be provided out of State
Government resources and Rs.7913 crore from
resources of Public Sector Enterprises. This enhanced
plan size is almost 34.75 % more than the plan size
of Rs. 48685 crore fixed for 2013-14.

22. Our Government’s first priority is to mitigate
the misery of the farmers of the State. Improving the
lives of the farmers is prequisite for a healthy society.

TAX PROPOSALS
Goods and Services Tax:
467. We are working with the Empowered Committee
of State Finance Ministers to bring about consensus
among the States and the Centre on various issues
relating to introduction of Goods and Services Tax
(GST). We would take all necessary steps to prepare
our trade and industry as also the department for its

468. A revenue collection target of Rs.37740 crore is
fixed for the current year and for the year 2014-15,

469. I have met the trade and industry
representatives to get their valuable inputs in
formulation of Budget. They have made several
positive suggestions to make compliance simpler.
Requests for tax concessions to certain commodities
and sectors have also been made. I have tried to strike
a balance between our need for resources for the larger
interests of the society and the support that we can
give to the trade and industry to be competitive.
Several of the issues raised by them can be resolved
through administrative measures and the Government
would address them appropriately.
Value Added Tax:
470. I compliment the trade and industry for having
whole-heartedly supported all our e-governance
initiatives aimed at making tax compliance easier and
tax administration more effective. The Government
proposes to improve the current initiatives and also
provide the trade and industry newer facilities.

wheat, pulses and products of rice and

Budget 2014 - 15128

re-assessment for several tax periods of one
financial year.
Additional Resource Mobilisation Measure:
472. The current system of Excise Tax on liquor is
unable to capture substantial value addition that
takes place in retail sale of liquor by clubs, lodging
houses, star hotels, bar and restaurants. I therefore
propose to levy lower VAT of 5.5% on liquor sold by
bar and restaurants operating in urban areas and by
clubs, lodging houses and star hotels.
Rationalisation measure:
473. I propose to provide for filing of annual
statements by dealers in order to avoid disputes in
the information provided by them in electronic
returns.
Luxury Tax:
Relief:
474. I propose to increase the minimum daily rent
for taxation from the current Rs.500 to Rs.750.
Budget 2014 - 15 129

Relief:

on Beer from 122% to 135 % as in Annexure-II.
479. I propose to increase the Licence fee of Primary
Distillery, Indian Liquor Manufacturing Distillery and
Brewery by 50%.
480. I propose to increase the Licence fee of MSIL
retail liquor shops (CL-11C) from Rs.1 lakh to
Rs.3 lakhs.
Budget 2014 - 15130
481. I propose to increase the fee for shifting of
shops from one place to another, from the existing
25% to 50% of the Licence fee charged on the Licence
in respect of such shops.
Stamps and Registration
482. For the year 2013-14, revenue collection target
is fixed at Rs.6500 crore and for the year 2014-15,
revenue collection target is fixed at Rs.7450 crore.

for the Motor Cabs which costs more than Rs.15 lakhs
and registered in other states and entering our state
by obtaining tourist vehicle permit, instead of life time
tax.
486. It is found that the vehicles are being registered
in other States with lower rate of life time tax but
plying in the State to avoid payment of life time tax
levied in Karnataka. In order to prevent revenue loss
from this, I propose to bring suitable amendment to
the Motor Vehicle Taxation Act.
