Under Article 116, which grant may the House of the People make in advance for part of a financial year pending the voting of the full grants?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Vote on Account
- Step 1: Article 116 of the Constitution is headed 'Votes on account, votes of credit and exceptional grants'. Answer: Vote on Account. Clause (a) gives the House of the People 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 voting procedure. Why not the others: A vote of credit meets an unexpected demand of indefinite character, and an exceptional grant is for a special purpose; an excess grant is not the advance grant in clause (a).
