As of FY24, just 68% of the amended budgetary allocation has been utilized by union ministries.

In the first nine months of the fiscal year, a significant number of Union ministries had only used roughly two-thirds of their amended budgetary allocations for 2023–2024.

In a statement on the ministry-by-minister utilization of the Budget allocation for FY24, the Union finance ministry stated that the actual overall expenditure between April and December was ?30.41 trillion, as opposed to the revised allocation of ?44.90 trillion for 56 ministries.

The ministries of railroads, road transportation, and highways utilized up to 85% of their allocations, while the ministry of defense utilized roughly 71% of those with substantial allocations.

According to the revised estimate in the Budget, the Ministry of Railways was allotted ?2.43 trillion for FY24. As of December 31st, however, it had already spent ?2.08 trillion.
Of the ?2.76 trillion allotted, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways only used ?2.28 trillion.

However, much fewer have been used by other ministries. Up to December, the ministries of consumer affairs, food, and public distribution used over 64% of their FY24 budgetary allotments, education about 46%, and micro, small, and medium-sized business ministry about 23%.
With a budget of over ?1.3 trillion for FY24, the ministry of education only used roughly ?592 billion up until December 31st. With ?2.22 trillion allotted for the current fiscal year, the consumer affairs, food, and public distribution ministry has already spent ?1.39 trillion.

However, experts claim that the latter quarter of a fiscal year sees a significant portion of central government ministries and departments' spending as payments for numerous programs and schemes are made during that time.
As of December 31, the ministry of finance had spent almost 66.2% of the ?16.27 trillion allotted to it, and the ministry of rural development had spent roughly 63% of the ?1.73 trillion allotted to it.

The most recent budget's expenditure profile for 2024–25 shows that, compared to the revised estimate of ?44.90 trillion for FY24, the expenditure of various ministries and departments of the central government is expected to be ?47.66 trillion for the upcoming fiscal year.
For FY25, the projected revenue expenditure is ?36.55 trillion, while the predicted capital expenditure is ?11.11 trillion.
