INTRODUCTION
Meaning of Budget
A budget is a financial plan that outlines the expected income and expenditures of an individual,
business, or government over a specified period of time, usually one year. It is a tool used to
allocate resources and prioritize expenses to achieve financial goals. The budget process
typically involves forecasting future income and expenses, determining how much money will be
saved or invested, and making decisions about how to allocate funds to different expenses. The
purpose of a budget is to help ensure that resources are being used efficiently and effectively and
to help control spending and manage debt. In government, the budget is a document that outlines
the government’s revenue and spending plans and serves as a key tool for managing the
economy and allocating public resources.
Article 112 requires the President of India to cause to be laid before both houses of Parliament
an annual financial statement, known as the Union Budget, which shows the estimated receipts
and expenditures of the government for the next financial year.
Article 114 empowers the Parliament to make laws with respect to the imposition, abolition,
remission, alteration, and regulation of taxes and duties on income, profits, and capital value.
Article 115 requires the government to place the annual financial statement, or the Union
Budget, before both houses of Parliament for their consideration and approval. The Parliament
may discuss and make recommendations on the budget, but it cannot vote on the demands for
grants (allocations of funds for specific purposes) in the budget. The Parliament can only vote on
the appropriation bill, which gives legislative sanction to the spending proposed in the budget.
Article 116 provides for the allocation of funds for the administration of the states and for
making grants-in-aid to states in accordance with the recommendations of the Finance
Commission.
