I ADVANCE ESTIMATES OF NATIONAL INCOME, 2015-16
4. These estimates are based on anticipated level of agricultural production from the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Department of Agriculture & Cooperation (DAC), Index of Industrial Production (IIP), monthly accounts of Union Government Expenditure maintained by Controller General of Accounts (CGA) and of State Government expenditure maintained by Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG). Performance of key sectors like transport including railways, road, air and water transport etc, communication, banking and insurance have been taken into account while compiling the estimates. Performance of the corporate sector during April-December 2015 has also been taken into account while compiling advance estimates.
