What is the objective of 'Cut Motion' in the Parliament ?

  • A.To restrict day-to-day financial expenditure of Government
  • B.To restrict grants of the Government
  • C.To move a proposal to reduce expenditure in budget proposals
  • D.To restrict grants from consolidated fund of India

Answer: C

The objective of a cut motion is to move a proposal to reduce expenditure in budget proposals.

A cut motion is moved in the Lok Sabha during the voting on demands for grants to reduce the amount of a demand. A policy cut reduces it to Re 1 to show disapproval of policy, an economy cut reduces it by a stated amount, and a token cut reduces it by Rs 100 to raise a specific grievance.

A cut motion does not restrict day-to-day spending or grants in general. It is moved against a demand in the budget, not against grants as such from the Consolidated Fund.
