"For subsequent quarters, a separate advisory will be issued before the commencement of the quarter. It further reiterated that the relaxation will be subject to strict adherence to the Single Nodal Agency (SNA) and Central Nodal Agency (CNA) guidelines issued by the Department of Expenditure," it said.
Usually, ministries and departments are allowed to spend 25% of their budget in each quarter. However, such spending is slower than the permitted limit in the first and second quarters due to various conditions.
According to cash management guidelines, ministries have to attune bulk expenditure items to monthly Goods and Services Tax collections and quarterly advance tax payments for smooth exchequer control.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in her Budget announced a 33% increase in capital expenditure outlay to Rs 10 lakh crore for the financial year 2023-24. This is 3.3% of the GDP.
