Import:

In Year 2015-16 = 738 lakhs rupees

In Year 2016-17 = 1200 lakhs rupees

In Year 2017-18 = 1600 lakhs rupees

In Year 2018-19 = 1537 lakhs rupees

In Year 2019-20 = 1310 lakhs rupees

Export:

In Year 2015-16 = 825 lakhs rupees

In Year 2016-17 = 1014 lakhs rupees

In Year 2017-18 = 1240 lakhs rupees

In Year 2018-19 = 1522 lakhs rupees

In Year 2019-20 = 1650 lakhs rupees

Calculation:

Difference in import and export in Year 2015-16 = 825 - 738 = 87 lakhs rupees

Difference in import and export in Year 2016-17 = 1200 - 1014 = 186 lakhs rupees

Difference in import and export in Year 2017-18 = 1600 - 1240 = 360 lakhs rupees

Difference in import and export in Year 2018-19 = 1537 - 1522 = 15 lakhs rupees

Difference in import and export in Year 2019-20 = 1650 - 1310 = 340 lakhs rupees

The difference between import and export is minimum in the year 2018-19.
