Details

This data is taken from ministry of finance website "http://www.finmin.nic.in/the_ministry/dept_expenditure/cca/cca_exp_stat.asp". It is publicly available. You can also find info on http://cga.nic.in/default.aspx and on http://www.finmin.nic.in/the_ministry/dept_expenditure/cca/cca_exp_stat.asp Data available in pdf not excel. Data is not available in bulk for all things, though for some. To be conservative ive said no. Given the definition of spending I have changed the link to CGA as that is where detailed accounts are available to some degree of disaggregation. The ministy of finance has some but CGA would have more.
