Discussion

Arrange the following stages in the enactment of budget in proper order:

1. General discussion
2. Appropriation Bill
3. Finance Bill
4. Voting of the demand for grant
5. Presentation to legislature

  • A.1, 2, 3, 4, 5
  • B.5, 1, 4, 2, 3
  • C.5, 1, 4, 3, 2
  • D.5, 1, 3, 4, 2

Answer: B

The correct order is 5, 1, 4, 2, 3.

The budget passes through these stages in Parliament:

  1. Presentation of the budget to the legislature.
  2. General discussion on the budget as a whole.
  3. Scrutiny by the departmental committees.
  4. Voting on the demands for grants in the Lok Sabha.
  5. Passing of the Appropriation Bill, which authorises withdrawal from the Consolidated Fund.
  6. Passing of the Finance Bill, which gives effect to the tax proposals.

The Appropriation Bill comes before the Finance Bill, which rules out 5, 1, 4, 3, 2. Voting on demands must come before the Appropriation Bill, which rules out 5, 1, 3, 4, 2.
