CHAPTER-3
EXPENDITURE GENERAL PRINCIPLES AND RULES
I. APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS NECESSARY TO MAKESANCTION 'TO EXPENDITURE EFFECTIVE.
3.1 Sanction to the expenditure of money becomes operativeonly when funds'have been appropriated to meet such expenditure,and does not become operative until they have been so appropriated.There are, thus, two elements necessary before public moneycan be spent on any object or works :-
(i) There must be an act of sanction of an authority competentto sanction ; and
(ii) There must be an act of appropriation of funds for thepurpose by an authority competent to appropriate.
Note : In the P.W. Department in the case of charges againstsuspense accounts any expenditure which is not expectedto cause an excess over the net provision for the year maybe held to be covered thereby. '
3.2 Sanction to recurring expenditure covering a specified periodbecomes operative when funds are appropriated to meet the expenditureof the first year and remain in operation till the end of specifiedperiod subject to appropriation in each year.
3.3 Sanction to recurrirrg expenditure terminates
(a) with the expiry of its specified term whether continuousor in broken periods (Disbursing and Controlling Officers)are, therefore, responsible for maintaining a checkregister of recurring temporary sanction showing when eachexpires ; and
(b) when funds are no longer appropriated.
3.4 It follows from the foregoing rules that;
(a) It is not sufficient merely to have sanction of competentauthority to the expenditure. For example, the entertainmentof a claim may be sanctioned from 1st April "j)~t but it

uthority sanctioning the expenditure should indicate theof nccount to which the expenditure is debitable.
I{lNt, OF EXPENDlTURE IN ANTICIPATION OF FUNDS.
IfllJlly speaking, no expenditure should be incurred after theplil until the Budget has been communicated. The only
liN peuuitted are :-
1111 Ii) Hills for pay and other charges duly sanctioned for themonth of March and previous months may be paid in.uuicipation of communication of the Budget, but onlyaIter the Budget has been passed.
II) Similarly expenditure may also be incurred in emergent.cases during the months of April and May in anticipation
r communication of the Budget allotment; provided \.uch expenditure docs not exceed the average monthly
LI.lillUlldltllll.! of the previous year.

( 30 )
(b) Expenditure may be incurred in the PWD in anticipation ofthe receipt of its Budget, subject to the following limits :_
(i) All original works in progress at the end of the previousfinancial year may be continued.
(ii) Expenditure may be incurred on annual repairs to theextent of the previous years allotment under each of theBudget Sub-heads; provided that it does not exceedthat included in the Budget Estimates of the current year.
. \
(iii) Expenditure may be incurred under "Pay of Officer"and "Pay of Establishment" according to the scalesanctioned and provided for in the current year to alsofor casual temporary establishment at the average monthlyrate of the current year.
(iv) Expenditure on travelling allowance, .contingencies andtools and plants may be incurred at the average monthlyrate of the previous year.
Note : As a matter of course all expenditure incurred under theserules in anticipation of sanction to the annual Budget Estimatesmust be treated as a charge against the grants eventually made.
(c) Expenditure on departmental lumbering and exploitationworks in the Forest Department in progress from thepreceding year may be incurred during the months of Apriland May in anticipation of communication and distributionof Budget grant.
