UNION BUDGET Timetable drawn up by the BAC – Business Advisory Committee of Parliament. Has a fixed period of discussion with each Ministry Budget division in the Finance Ministry has responsibility for the Budget Considers proposals from all Departments and Ministries subject to availability of funds

…UNION BUDGET Four organs of Govt involved: Finance Ministry, Administrative Ministries, Planning Commission and Comptroller and Auditor General Further, different lobbies, unions, economists Final approval rests with Parliament

Government accounts (Union level) Divided between the Consolidated Fund of India, Contingency Fund of India and the Public Account Consolidated Fund of India: Credits all revenue received and all loans raised by issue of government debt and money received in repayment of loans Contingency Fund of India: For unforeseen expenditure pending subsequent authorisation by Parliament Public Account: Includes trust funds and where all transactions relating to Debt, Deposits, Advances and remittances are made

Government accounts (Union level) Budget is also divided up into Revenue Budget and Capital budget Revenue Budget – Expenditures and receipts of annually recurrent nature Capital Budget – Investment expenditure related – items are of a longer term duration; Results in the acquisition or construction of a fixed asset (land, building, vehicle, furniture or equipment) or enhancement of an existing fixed asset.

Rev vs capital expenditure CAP EXP: Acquisition/Creation of assets such as land, building and machinery, and also investments in shares, etc. Other items that also fall under this category include, loans and advances sanctioned by the Centre to State governments, union territories and public sector undertakings. REV EXP: Does not result in the creation of assets. This refers to the money spent on the normal functioning of the government departments and various other services such as interest charges on debt incurred by the government.

Rev vs capital receipts REV REC: Consist of tax collected by the government and other receipts consisting of interest and dividend on investments made by government, fees and other receipts for services rendered by government CAP REC: Are loans raised by the Government from the public (often referred to as market loans); borrowings by the Government from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and other parties through sale of Treasury Bills; loans received from foreign governments and bodies; and recoveries of loans granted by the Union Government to State governments, Union Territories and other parties. It can also include the proceeds from divestment of government equity in public enterprises.

Government Accounts Money given from the government’s account for the Central Plan is called Plan Expenditure. It consists of both Revenue Expenditure and Capital Expenditure, Central Assistance to States and Union Territories. Planning commission also involved – hence you find the terms “Plan expenditure” (current schemes/freshly intro in current FYP period) – “Non-plan expenditure” (carried forward schemes from earlier FYP periods) as well. The emphasis of the Commission is on maximising the output by using limited resources optimally. Effort is to look for increases in the efficiency of utilisation of the allocations being made.

5 stages I. Presentation of budget with Finance Minister’s Speech II. General Discussion III. Voting on demand for grants – which each Ministry has - A statement of expenditure estimate from the Consolidated Fund that requires the approval of the Lok Sabha. IV. Passing of appropriation bills - A Bill that enables withdrawal of money from the Consolidated Fund to pay off expenses. These are instruments that Parliament clears after the demand for grants has been voted by the Lok Sabha. V. Passing of Finance Bill - Government’s plans for imposing new taxes, modifying of the existing tax structure or continuing the existing tax structure beyond the period approved by the Parliament.
