The relationship between the revenue deficit and the fiscal deficit can be explained through the following points: 

i. Revenue deficit is the difference between government's revenue expenditures and government's receipts. 

Revenue deficit = Revenue expenditures - Revenue receipts

On the other hand, fiscal deficit is the difference between the total expenditure and the total receipt of the government.

Fiscal deficit = Total Expenditure - Total Receipts (excluding borrowings)

ii. The term 'fiscal deficit' is used in a broader sense than the term 'revenue deficit'.

iii. As revenue deficit increases, the proportion of fiscal deficit also increases.
