1. National Accounts
Statistics, 2008
The Central Statistical Organisation
(CSO), Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, regularly compiles
estimates of national accounts aggregates (i.e. domestic product, consumption
expenditure, capital formation, saving and capital stock etc.) for the economy
as a whole as well as for the Public Sector, both at current and constant
(1999-2000) prices and publishes them in its annual publication called National Accounts Statistics.
The present issue of National
Accounts Statistics (NAS) 2008
includes the Quick Estimates of macro-economic aggregates for the year 2006-07.
Advance Estimates of National Income for the year 2007-08 and Quarterly
estimates of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the years 1999-2000 to 2007-08,
including the estimates released on 28 February 2008 are available in the
issue. The publication consists of five parts. The contents of each part are briefly
described below:
Part-I: Macro-economic Aggregates. This
part contains the summary statements of macro-economic aggregates like GDP,
NDP, GNP, and NNP at factor cost at constant (1999-2000) prices and at market
prices, Consumption of Fixed Capital (CFC), Private Final Consumption
Expenditure (PFCE), Government Final Consumption Expenditure (GFCE), Exports
and Imports, Capital Formation and Savings. This part also contains
consolidated accounts of the nation and performance of the public sector.
Part-II: Domestic Product. This
part of the NAS 2008 presents statements on GDP and NDP by industry of origin,
i.e. by economic activity along with the percentage distribution and growth
rates.
Part III: Consumption, Saving and Capital Formation. This part presents the estimates of Private Final Consumption, Saving
and Capital Formation in detail. The estimates of PFCE are presented separately
for about 38 commodity groups, whereas
the estimates of Gross Domestic
Saving are presented
by type of institutions. The
estimates of Capital Formation (comprising Fixed Capital Formation and Change
in Stocks) are given by type of assets, by type of institutions and by type of
‘Industry of use’.
Part-IV: Public Sector Transactions. This part gives the details of the Public sector component of
the aggregates like GDP and NDP (by type of institution and by the economic
activity), GFCE by purpose, Savings and Capital Formation (by type of
institution and by industry of use). This part presents the details of economic
accounts by a three-fold classification namely, by factor incomes, by economic
activities and by type of institutions. The final consumption expenditure of
the administrative departments are given separately for the expenditure on
compensation of employees, net purchase of goods and services separately by the
Central Government, State Government and authorities. The details of expenditure of the
administrative departments are also provided by economic and purpose
classification categories.
Part-V: Disaggregated Statements. This
part presents detailed disaggregated statements at the crop/item/category
level. The nature and extent of
disaggregated data vary from industry to industry depending on the availability
of information and procedure of estimation.
The disaggregated estimates in respect of savings relate to financial
assets and the liabilities of the household sector. The estimates of capital
formation by type of assets and by type of institutions and external
transaction accounts are also presented in this part.

2. New
Series of National Accounts Statistics- (Base Year 1999-2000)
With the gradual improvement in the availability of
basic data over the years, a comprehensive review of methodology for national
accounts statistics has constantly been undertaken with a view to updating the
database and shifting the base year to a more recent year. As a result, base year of the National
Accounts Statistics series has been shifted from 1948-49 to 1960-

5.
National Accounts Statistics
(In
the accounting framework of System of National Accounts 93)
The SNA93 recommends compilation of sequence of accounts (current accounts,
accumulation accounts and balance sheet) for all the institutional sectors
(non-financial corporations, financial corporations, general government,
households and non-profit institutions serving households (NPISHs)),
which, however, are not presented fully in the annual NAS. Through this
publication, the following accounts and aggregates according to the
framework of SNA93 are being presented:
(i)
for the total economy, the sequence of accounts
(current accounts; and of the accumulation accounts only the capital account
and finance account, and the rest of the world account);
(ii)
for the total economy, the social accounting matrix,
which depicts all accounts in a single matrix;
(iii)
for the institutional sectors (general government,
households (including NPISHs), financial
corporations, non-financial corporations), only the production and
generation of income accounts (of the current accounts);
(iv)
for the general government and households (including NPISHs) sectors, the sequence of accounts upto finance account;
(v)
GDP at basic prices;
(vi)
Cross-classification of output and value added by
industry;
(vii)
Classification of the functions of the government; and
(viii)
Classification of individual consumption according to
purpose.

6. Input Output Transactions
Table, 2003-04
This publication presents the Input-Output Transactions Table
(IOTT) of the Indian economy for the year 2003-04. It includes the complete
table, the details of methodology adopted, the database used and a brief
analysis of the results. The supplementary tables derived from the IOTT like
the input structure and the commodity composition of output have also been
included in this publication. The
previous IOTT for the reference year 1998-99 was published by the CSO in the
year 2005. Prior to that IOTTs for the reference years 1968-69, 1973-74, 1978-79,
1983-84, 1989-90 and 1993-94 were brought out by the CSO.
The Central Statistical
Organisation (CSO) has been preparing the IOTTs for
the Indian economy every five years following the same methodology, so that
comparable information system may develop over the years for studying the input
structures, final demand pattern, etc.
The methodology followed for construction of the present table conforms,
as in the past, to the basic principles enunciated in the United Nations System
of National Accounts. The detailed
matrices presented in this publication are at 130 X130 sector classification.
This publication is available

7. State wise Estimates of
Value of Output from Agriculture and Livestock
The role of agriculture in the Indian Economy needs no
emphasis. Important developments in Indian agriculture have taken place over
the years, particularly since the sixties due to the introduction of new
technology in different states. With
this in view a brochure containing state-wise and crop-wise information on
value of output from Agricultural crops for the years 1960-61 to 1980-81 both
at current and constant (1970-71) prices, was first published in December
1985. The second such brochure covering
the years 1980-81 to 1990-91, both at current and constant (1980-81) prices,
was published in August 1996. The third
brochure presents the estimates of value of output in different states/UTs and for different crops and Livestock products for the
period 1990-91 to 2002-03 (provisional), both at current and constant (1993-94)
prices. The latest in the series presents the state-wise value of output of all
items of agriculture, livestock, forestry and fishing for the period
1999-2000 to 2005-06, at current and constant (1999-2000) prices.
The last two brochures are
available on the website of the Ministry at http://mospi.nic.in/mospi_cso_rept_pubn.htm.
8. State wise Estimates of
Value of Output from Mining and Quarrying
The mining and metallurgical sector is vital to
the development and economic growth of developing country like
The first publication containing the state-wise
estimates of value of output from mining and quarrying activities was published
in 2006, giving the value of output from 1993-94 to 2003-04 both at current and
constant prices with base year 1993-94. The latest publication is the second in
the series giving the state-wise estimates of value of output of different
minerals with base year as 1999-2000.
The two brochures on mining
and quarrying are available on the website of the Ministry at
http://mospi.nic.in/mospi_cso_rept_pubn.htm.
9. National Accounts Statitics, Factor Incomes
The estimates of Value
added components (factor incomes) are required for studying the relative shares
of factors of production in the domestic product from different
sectors/industries of the economy. The factor incomes comprise of compensation
of employees and operating surplus, and these two together represent the net
domestic product.
In the brochure –
“National Accounts Statistics, Factor Incomes (New Series)”, released in 1994,
the estimates of factor incomes as per 1980-81 series consistent with the
estimates of net domestic product published in the National Accounts Statistics
(NAS), 1993 were presented for the years 1980-81 to 1989-90 alongwith detailed
notes on sources and methods. The
latest brochure on the estimates of factor incomes as per 1999-2000 series
gives the factor incomes for the years 1980-81 to 1999-2000, consistent with
the back series estimates of NAS.
The two brochures on factor
incomes are available on the website of the Ministry at
http://mospi.nic.in/mospi_cso_rept_pubn.htm.
