Rs 42,191.11 crore b. Power subsidy, interest subsidy and grants to gaushalas c. A classification in Rajasthan Budget Study 2026-27 Choose the correct matching.
The correct matching is agriculture subsidy as a Rajasthan Budget Study classification, Rs 42,191.11 crore as the amount, and power subsidy, interest subsidy and grants to gaushalas as the included support items. Short-term agriculture loans belong to agriculture credit, Rs 69,422.99 crore is the Consolidated Fund component, and Rs 1,19,408.11 crore is the total budgetary and extra-budgetary resource provision.

The Rajasthan Budget 2026-27 proposes 500 Custom Hiring Centres for farm machinery at Rs 96 crore. The figures of 300 centres, 750 centres and 1,000 centres change either the number of centres, the cost, or both, so they do not match the cited budget fact.
