Union Budget is the most comprehensive report of the government's finances in which revenues from all sources and outlays for all activities are consolidated. The interim budget is scheduled to be presented on February 1, 2019, by the government in the Parliament. Interim budget contains key details such as where money comes from and where it is spent, as well as projections of growth and fiscal position. Ahead of the presentation of Union Budget in Parliament, the Ministry of Finance has used social media platforms to explain some of the key terms related to the key event.Â
Here are some of the important Budget terms explained by the ministry:
Excess Grants: If the total expenditure under a grant exceeds the provision allowed through its orginal grant and supplementary grant, then, the excess requires regularization by obtaining the excess grant from the Parliament under Article 115 of the Constitution of India. It will have to go through the whole process as in the case of annual budget i.e. through presentation of Demands for Grants and passing of Appropriation Bills.
What happens when the total expenditure under a Grant is in excess of what was originally sanctioned by the Parliament?
