Meaning The word ‘fiscal’ is derived from the Greek word ‘fisc’ meaning basket. The word ‘fisc’ was used to denote the income and expenditure operations of the government while the income generating operations relate to taxation and govt. borrowing, the expenditure operations relates to govt.spending. The income of the govt. from various sources is called public revenue. It includes income from taxes : both direct and indirect.
