What is Economic Survey?
The document, which has been tabled in both the Houses of Parliament, reviews the developments in the Indian economy in the last financial year.
The Economic Survey document consists of Volume I, Volume II and Statistical Appendix. This comes a day before the Union Budget is presented in Parliament by the Finance Minister. It was separated from the budget in 1964 and unveiled in advance to provide a later context.
The Economic Survey is prepared by the Economics Division, Department of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Finance, under the overall guidance of the Chief Economic Adviser (CEA).
