When expenditures are more and the revenue is less. In this situation when government unable to return that money back. I'm this situation government have to sell thier some securities to investors and office of debt management take this decision that how much securities has to buy or sell.

2. Now let's move to the next component of public finance which is deficit, this situation arrives when the government collects revenue from a different sources and its expenditures is more than what it has in treasury.

3. The budget is a planned government ideas makes according to the revenue they have and want in their treasury in a fiscal year.
