Which of the following is NOT included in capital receipts?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Taxes.

  • A capital receipt is money received by a government or organization that is not part of its usual income.
  • Unlike revenue receipts, which come from everyday operations like taxes or sales, capital receipts come from transactions related to assets or liabilities.
  • These funds are often used for significant financial activities, such as long-term investments or managing major expenditures, rather than daily operational needs.
  • Capital receipts include Loans and Borrowings, disinvestment proceeds, recoveries of loans, grants for specific projects, and sale of assets.
