Solution
Option 1 -> Statements A, B, and D are incorrect. Statement A is incorrect because loans from IMF are capital receipts (create liability), not revenue receipts. Statement B is incorrect because while some capital receipts like borrowings are liabilities, others like disinvestment and recovery of loans are shown on the asset side. Statement D is incorrect because Revenue Deficit = Revenue Expenditure - Revenue Receipts, not excess of capital receipts over revenue receipts.
Option 2 -> Incorrect because statement C is actually correct - interest payments are part of revenue expenditure and contribute to fiscal deficit calculations.
Option 3 -> Incorrect because statement C is correct as interest payments are components that form part of fiscal deficit.
Option 4 -> Incorrect because statement A is also incorrect - loans from IMF are capital receipts, not revenue receipts.
Hence, Option 1: (A), (B) and (D) only -> Statement A is incorrect as loans from IMF create liability and are Capital Receipts. Statement B is incorrect as capital receipts include both liabilities (borrowings) and asset-side items (disinvestment, loan recovery). Statement D is incorrect as Revenue Deficit is Revenue Expenditure minus Revenue Receipts. Statement C is correct because interest payments are part of revenue expenditure which contributes to fiscal deficit -> correct
