Delhi had the highest own revenue as a share of total revenue receipts among states and Union Territories for which comparable data was available in the 2024-25 Budget Estimates (BE), at 93.2 per cent, according to Business Standard’s India State Fiscal Health Tracker .
The tracker is based on the Reserve Bank of India’s 2025 Handbook of Statistics on Indian States and compares states and Union Territories across eight fiscal indicators.
In the ranking, Delhi was followed by Haryana (80.4 per cent), Telangana (78.4 per cent), Karnataka (77.3 per cent) and Tamil Nadu (75.5 per cent). At the other end were Manipur (10.0 per cent), Nagaland (12.5 per cent), Arunachal Pradesh (12.8 per cent), Tripura (16.6 per cent) and Mizoram (19.6 per cent).
Own revenue measures how much of a state's revenue receipts come from its own sources. It combines own tax revenue and own non-tax revenue.
Own tax revenue includes taxes collected by a state, while own non-tax revenue includes sources such as fees, royalties, dividends and user charges.
