NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's fiscal deficit during the April-January period was 4.66 trillion rupees, or 90.7 percent of the budgeted full fiscal year 2012/13 target, government data showed on Thursday.
During the same period in the previous fiscal year, the deficit was 105.4 percent of the budgetary target.
Net tax receipts for April-January stood at 5.28 trillion rupees while total expenditure was 11.1 trillion rupees.
