General KnowledgeIndian Economy
- APension
- BInterest Payments
- CRoad Transport and Highways
- DDefence Services
Explanation
In the Union Budget 2025-26, interest payments form the single largest component of revenue expenditure, accounting for roughly a quarter of total spending. Pensions, road transport and highways, and defence services each take a smaller share of the revenue account. Debt servicing therefore dominates the revenue expenditure side. Hence interest payments comprise the major portion.
