Delhi Government Establishes Consolidated Sinking Fund to Repay Liabilities
The Delhi government has established a new consolidated sinking fund starting from the 2026-27 financial year to repay its outstanding liabilities, including internal debt and public account liabilities. The fund replaces the previous scheme, with existing balances transferred to it. The government aims to build the fund's corpus to 5% of outstanding liabilities within five years. Contributions can come from general revenue or other sources but not from Reserve Bank borrowings. The fund will be managed by the RBI and invested in government securities.
