Here are the timestamps for the key topics discussed in the video transcript:

00:00 - Introduction to Cut Motions: The video introduces the three types of cut motions that can be brought against a budget proposal: Token Cut, Policy Cut, and Economic Cut.
00:19 - Token Cut Motion: This section explains the Token Cut, which is used to express a grievance about a specific part of a policy. To signify this disagreement, a motion is moved to reduce the budgeted amount by ₹100.
00:46 - Policy Cut Motion: A Policy Cut motion is explained as a way to show disagreement with an entire policy, not just a part of it. This is indicated by proposing that the entire budgeted amount be reduced to ₹1, effectively rejecting the policy altogether.
01:05 - Economy Cut Motion: This section details the Economy Cut, which is moved when a parliamentarian believes the amount allocated for a policy is excessive. The motion suggests reducing the budget by a specific amount to curb what is seen as excessive expenditure.
01:54 - Union Budget Classification Post-2017: The video explains that since 2017, the Union Budget classification changed, partly due to the end of the Five-Year Plans and the adoption of international practices. The budget is now classified into the Revenue Budget and the Capital Budget.
02:29 - Revenue vs. Capital Expenditure: The distinction between the two types of expenditure is clarified. Revenue expenditure is for the day-to-day running and maintenance of the country, such as salaries and welfare schemes. Capital expenditure is for development and building the nation, like constructing roads and dams, which are considered developmental expenses.
03:07 - Economic Terms for Expenditure: The video links these budget categories to economic terminology. Revenue expenditure is also known as consumption expenditure, while capital expenditure is called developmental or productive expenditure because it increases the country's future earning capacity.
03:39 - Revenue Receipts: The discussion shifts to the income side of the Revenue Budget, known as Revenue Receipts. These are recurring income sources for the government, divided into Tax Receipts (direct and indirect) and Non-Tax Receipts.
04:08 - Sources of Non-Tax Revenue: A detailed list of non-tax revenue sources is provided, including fees, fines, profits from Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs), dividends from investments, interest received on loans, grants, and money from escheat accounts.
04:41 - Explanation of Non-Tax Sources: The video provides further explanation for various non-tax revenue sources, including Escheat accounts, where the government claims the property of a person who dies without a nominee. It also clarifies that fees are collected for permissions like licenses, and dividends are the government's share of profit from its investments.
