Public Finance continues in its stride in presenting the latest information on Indian budget. Since over two generations, it has virtually become an encyclopedia on all financial matters of the Government of India, serving as a textbook for students, teachers and the general public, and a reference volume for researchers and others. It is equally useful for competitive 
examinations conducted by various professional and employment-providing 
bodies. It covers the UGC CBCS syllabus and the syllabi of many Indian universities for undergraduate, postgraduate and professional courses. 
The book follows a logical and systematic approach. Thus, it is divided into two parts. Part I prov ides an anal y tical and comprehensive discussion of both the basics and frontiers of the theory of public finance. Part II covers the set-up, issues and working of Indian fiscal field mounted upon the theoretical underpinnings and international practices and experience. The 
illustrations are drawn mainly from the Indian scene, w it h a cross-reference to international experience. The book uses all the modern-day tools of pedagogy like Learning Objectives, Key Terms, Summary, Review Questions and Exercises.
