Delhi Budget 2027-28 Prep Kicks Off! Departments Submit Proposals

The Delhi government has officially commenced the preliminary work for its 2027-28 budget. This crucial process involves all government departments, which have been instructed to submit their detailed proposals by mid-October. This early start aims to ensure a thorough and well-planned financial roadmap for the coming years.

Officials confirmed that the Finance Department has taken the lead in this initiative.

They are overseeing the preparation of both the Revised Estimates (RE) for the financial year 2026-27 and the Budget Estimates (BE) for 2027-28. A circular issued by the Finance Department explicitly outlines these requirements, urging all departments to comply with the prescribed proforma for their submissions.

Further steps in this extensive process include pre-budget and RE meetings, which are slated to begin in the last week of October 2026. The specific dates and times for these important discussions will be communicated to the departments separately. A key directive highlighted in the circular is the emphasis on formulating “realistic assessments” for the requirement of funds.

This ensures that the estimates accurately reflect what can be effectively utilized by each department during the respective financial year, promoting fiscal responsibility and efficient resource allocation.
