Abstract
Gender budgeting started in India in 2005-06 means a gender based perspective at all the levels of the budgeting process and restructuring revenues and expenditures in order to promote gender equality. It stresses on reprioritization of expenditure and in particular, there orientation of programmes within sectors. That will not only increase the women’s income, if the occupational discrimination is eliminated, but also the national income. While over the last fifteen years the size of the gender budget has been 5%.Even as per the union budget 2020-21, this allocation is 4.72% of the total budgetary expenditure which has stagnated over the time. An analysis of Gender Budget not only reveals lack of deviation in the spending pattern from the previous years, but also inherent shortcomings in India’s approach to gender responsive budgeting. This research paper is to study out the importance, loopholes and corrections needed for this Budgeting process.
