Expenditure Budget Vol. 1 Statement 2 (to 2016-17); Expenditure Profile Statement 3 (from 2017-18). Totals add up the ministry's departments.
Up to 2016-17 these totals include Central Assistance for State Plans routed through the ministry. In 2017-18 the Plan/Non-plan split ended and several demands were split, merged or moved, so the two periods aren't strictly comparable.
