ANSWER: 116
 
  • Article 116 of the Indian Constitution deals with the Vote on Account.
  • It states that - The House of the People shall have power to make any grant in advance in respect of the estimated expenditure for a part of any financial year pending the completion of the procedure prescribed in article 113 for the voting of such grant and the passing of the law in accordance with the provisions of article 114 in relation to that expenditure.
  • Vote of account has been a necessary feature since the adoption of the Constitution of India.
  • By advancing of budget presentation by a month and completion of Budget related legislative business before 31st March, it would pave the way for early completion of Budget cycle and will also preclude the need for seeking appropriation through 'Vote on Account'.
