This study aims to investigate the extent to which Government Expenditure on Relief and Rehabilitation in India corresponds to the documented intensity of natural disasters from 1990 to 2020. Even after profound fiscal allocations for disaster relief, the relationship between disaster severity and government spending remains blurred, often questioning the efficiency and responsiveness of disaster finance in India. Employing descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analysis, the research critically examines the impact of Disaster Intensity Index (DII), on government spending for the respective years. The findings uncover implications relating to policy formulation with respect to enhancement of monetary responsiveness and optimal resource allotment for disaster mitigation and recovery
