Corruption was big even in the US in early 1900s. Every country goes through this curve. As economy progresses, people earn more, they get educated further than previous generation and slowly corruption goes down. It's a natural curve.

Also, India will go through a Premiumization trend with per capita income crossing a certain threshold.

I just wrote an article for myself just to remind that this trend has played out and will play out in future on a much larger scale - https://medium.com/@devangladchintu/premiumization-a-megatrend-1fa9e928acdf

India is a country that has disappointed both pessimists and optimists in the long term and I see no change in it. China will be the Super power US will be shadow of its past and India will be stuck due to extreme wealth inequality leading losers coming in power. I hope I am proven wrong but Stock Market cap isn't reality.

Look at the GST collection of past 12 months and the growth.

Fiscal deficit tells you the difference between what govt is earning and what it is spending. Doesn't tell you anything about the quantum of increase in earnings and spends.
