What is Expenditure Management Commission in India?

The Expenditure Management Commission (EMC) is a commission established by the Government of India in 2014 to review the country’s public expenditure and make recommendations for improving its efficiency and effectiveness. The EMC is chaired by a senior economist and includes members from various fields, such as finance, public administration, and economics. The commission’s main objective is to identify areas where the government can reduce expenditure without affecting the delivery of essential services, and to make recommendations on how to improve the allocation and management of public funds.
