Supreme Court on Free Schemes: मुफ्तवादी सियासत, रेवड़ी में गुल मुनाफा...सिर्फ कर्ज और घाटा! Upload Video: 19 February 2026

In a significant observation on the growing culture of “free schemes” or political freebies, the Supreme Court of India has raised serious concerns over the fiscal impact of such populist measures. The Court questioned why several states running in heavy fiscal deficit continue to announce and distribute free benefits, especially ahead of elections.

The Bench observed that while providing basic facilities like education, healthcare, and essential support to economically weaker sections is the constitutional duty of the State, indiscriminate distribution of freebies could burden taxpayers and hamper long-term economic growth. The Court emphasized that governments must focus more on employment generation, sustainable development, and strengthening state revenue rather than expanding subsidy-driven politics.

The remarks come amid increasing debates over election-time announcements, loan waivers, free electricity, cash transfers, and other welfare schemes. The Supreme Court underlined that the financial burden of such schemes ultimately falls on taxpayers and future generations. At the same time, it acknowledged that those unable to afford basic life necessities deserve state support.

The Court also indicated that political parties, policymakers, and social thinkers need to re-evaluate their ideological approach toward welfare versus fiscal responsibility. The larger question raised: Can state revenue be better utilized for infrastructure, education, and economic growth instead of short-term electoral benefits?
