The constitution of '''Expenditure Management Commission''' (EMC) of [[India]] was announced in the Budget Speech by Finance Minister of India [[Arun Jaitley]] in the budget of 2014–15.<ref name=thehindu1>{{cite web|last1=Mehra|first1=Puja|title=PM approves constitution of expenditure management panel|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/bimal-jalan-to-head-expenditure-management-commission/article6312580.ece|website=The Hindu|accessdate=27 February 2015}}</ref> The Commission will be a recommendation body with the primary responsibility of suggesting major expenditure reforms that will enable the government to reduce and manage its [[fiscal deficit]] at more sustainable levels.

The EMC is a five-member body composed of the former [[Reserve Bank of India]] (RBI) [[Governor]] [[Bimal Jalan]], who has been appointed to head the Commission, former [[Finance Secretary]] Sumit Bose, former Deputy RBI Governor [[Subir Gokarn]] and two other members.<ref name=indiatoday1>{{cite web|title=Bimal Jalan to head Expenditure Management Commission|url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/bimal-jalan-to-head-expenditure-management-commission/1/377174.html|website=India Today|accessdate=27 February 2015}}</ref>

Despite the legal mandate intended to lower the Fiscal Deficit to 3 per cent within the stipulated time [[Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management Act, 2003|Fiscal Responsibility and Budgetary Management Act, 2003]], India has witnessed a persistent high [[fiscal deficit]]. Subsidies, public services, underpricing and arbitrary [[natural resource]] allocation are government activities that have led to expenditures greater than revenue.{{Citation needed|reason=Reliable source needed for the whole sentence|date=February 2015}} <ref name=watal1>{{cite journal|last1=Watal|first1=Ratan|title=Constitute_Expenditure_Management_Commission|date=4 September 2014|url=http://finmin.nic.in/the_ministry/dept_expenditure/notification/misc/Constitute_Expenditure_Management_Commission.pdf|accessdate=27 February 2015}}</ref>

The commission is mandated to evaluate proposals for reducing the three major subsidies (i.e. food, fertilizer and oil).<ref name=livemint1>{{cite web|last1=Mishra|first1=Asit|title=Former RBI head Bimal Jalan to head expenditure management commission|url=http://www.livemint.com/Politics/bME0YV5BaP2laNsVNVQHBO/Former-RBI-head-Bimal-Jalan-to-head-expenditure-management-c.html|website=Livemint|accessdate=27 February 2015}}</ref>
