Key facts
- Business Standard's India State Fiscal Health Tracker, based on the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) 2025 Handbook of Statistics on Indian States, ranks Delhi highest with a 93.2 per cent own revenue share of total revenue receipts in the 2024-25 Budget Estimates (BE).
- The tracker compares states and Union Territories across eight fiscal indicators.
- Haryana (80.4 per cent), Telangana (78.4 per cent), Karnataka (77.3 per cent) and Tamil Nadu (75.5 per cent) follow Delhi in the top five.

- The own revenue ratio is calculated as (Own Tax Revenue + Own Non-Tax Revenue) divided by Revenue Receipts, multiplied by 100.
- Own non-tax revenue includes fees, royalties, dividends and user charges, while own tax revenue includes taxes collected by the state.
- The FY25 own revenue share figures are based on Budget Estimates, not final accounts.
