FinMin directs all ministries to adhere to monthly/quarterly expenditure plans

28 Dec 2016 Evaluate

The Finance Ministry has directed financial advisors of all ministries and departments to strictly adhere to monthly and quarterly expenditure plans, to improve the quality of public expenditure. It said that beginning next fiscal, the financial advisors of the ministries/departments have to ensure adherence to the stipulated Monthly Expenditure Plan and Quarterly Expenditure Plan. This step is being taken to avoid rush of expenditure, particularly in the closing months of the financial year.

The Finance Ministry is also considering bringing a proposal under which the central ministries will have to refund the Budget grants which cannot be profitably utilized and these funds should be returned to the treasury without waiting for the financial year to end. It further said if there are any savings they would be surrendered before the close of the financial year and any fund not utilised before the close of that financial year would stand lapsed at the close of the financial year. Ministry made it clear that any such savings and funds will not be kept in reserve they have to submit it to the ministries in the state treasury.

Further, the Ministry has decided to move towards outcome based budgeting as part of the overhaul of budget making exercises, under which the Union Budget would be presented in Parliament on February 1, instead of age-old tradition of unveiling it on the last day of the month. Plan expenditure, which entails government spending on social welfare schemes and asset creation, was hiked by 15.3 percent to over Rs 5.5 lakh crore for 2016-17 fiscal. However, from next fiscal the classification of expenditure as ‘Plan/Non Plan’ will be replaced with ‘Capital and Revenue’ Expenditure.
