3. Pending presentation of the Regular Budget by the new Government later in the year, the Interim Budget being presented in February 2009 comprises the documents listed in para 1 above (except the document at serial E).

4.1. A brief description of Budget documents listed in para 1 is given below.

4. (A) Annual Financial Statement (AFS), the core budget document, shows estimated receipts and disbursements by the Government of India for 2009-10 in relation to estimates for 2008-09 as also expenditure for the year 2007-08. The receipts and disbursements are shown under the three parts, in which Government Accounts are kept viz.,(i) Consolidated Fund, (ii) Contingency Fund and (iii) Public Account. Under the Constitution, Annual Financial Statement distinguishes expenditure on revenue account from other expenditure. Government Budget, therefore, comprises Revenue Budget and Capital Budget. The estimates of expenditure included in the Annual Financial Statement are for the net expenditure, i.e., after taking into account the recoveries, as will be reflected in the accounts.

The significance of the Consolidated Fund, the Contingency Fund and the Public Account as well as the distinguishing features of Revenue and Capital Budget are given briefly below.

(i) The existence of the Consolidated Fund of India (CFI) flows from Article 266 of the Constitution. All revenues received by Government, loans raised by it, and also its receipts from recoveries of loans granted by it form the Consolidated Fund. All expenditure of Government is incurred from the Consolidated Fund of India and no amount can be drawn from the Consolidated Fund without authorisation from Parliament.

(ii) Article 267 of the Constitution authorises the Contingency Fund which is an imprest placed at the disposal of the President of India facilitate Government to meet urgent unforeseen expenditure pending authorization from Parliament. Parliamentary approval for such unforeseen expenditure is obtained, post-facto, and an equivalent amount is drawn from the Consolidated Fund to recoup the Contingency Fund. The corpus of the Contingency Fund as authorized by Parliament presently stands at Rs. 500 crore.

(iii) Moneys held by Government in Trust as in the case of Provident Funds, Small Savings collections, income of Government set apart for expenditure on specific objects like road development, primary education, Reserve/Special Funds etc. are kept in the Public Account. Public Account funds do not belong to Government and have to be finally paid back to the persons and authorities who deposited them. Parliamentary authorisation for such payments is, therefore, not required, except where amounts are withdrawn from the Consolidated Fund with the approval of Parliament and kept in the Public Account for expenditure on specific objects, in which case, the actual expenditure on the specific object is again submitted for vote of Parliament for drawl from the Public Account for incurring expenditure on the specific object.

(iv) Revenue Budget consists of the revenue receipts of Government (tax revenues and other revenues) and the expenditure met from these revenues. Tax revenues comprise proceeds of taxes and other duties levied by the Union. The estimates of revenue receipts shown in the Annual Financial Statement take into account the effect of various taxation proposals made in the Finance Bill. Other receipts of Government mainly consist of interest and dividend on investments made by Government, fees, and other receipts for services rendered by Government. Revenue expenditure is for the normal running of Government departments and various services, interest payments on debt, subsidies, etc. Broadly the expenditure which does not result in creation of assets for Government of India is treated as revenue expenditure. All grants given to State Governments/Union Territories and other parties are also treated as revenue expenditure even though some of the grants may be used for creation of assets.

(v) Capital Budget consists of capital receipts and capital payments. The capital receipts are loans raised by Government from public, called market loans, borrowings by Government from Reserve Bank and other parties through sale of Treasury Bills, loans received from foreign Governments and bodies, and recoveries of loans from State and Union Territory Governments and other parties. Capital payments consist of capital expenditure on acquisition of assets like land, buildings, machinery, equipment, as also investments in shares, etc., and loans and advances granted by Central Government to State and Union Territory Governments, Government companies, Corporations and other parties. Capital Budget also incorporates transactions in the Public Account.

(vi) Accounting Classification

• The estimates of receipts and disbursements in the Annual Financial Statement and of expenditure in the Demands for Grants are shown according to the accounting classification prescribed under Article 150 of the Constitution, which enables Parliament and the public to make a meaningful analysis of allocation of resources and purposes of Government expenditures.

• The Annual Financial Statement shows separately, certain disbursements as charged on the Consolidated Fund of India, where the Constitution mandates such items of expenditure, like emoluments of the President, salaries and allowances of the Chairman and the Deputy Chairman of the Rajya Sabha and the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker of the Lok Sabha, salaries, allowances and pensions of Judges of the Supreme Court, Comptroller and Auditor-General of India and the Central Vigilance Commission, interest on and repayment of loans raised by Government and payments made to satisfy decrees of courts etc. These items of expenditure are charged on the Consolidated Fund of India and are not required to be voted by the Lok Sabha.

4. (B) Demands for Grants

(i) Article 113 of the Constitution mandates that the estimates of expenditure from the Consolidated Fund of India included in the Annual Financial Statement and required to be voted by the Lok Sabha are submitted in the form of Demands for Grants. The Demands for Grants are presented to the Lok Sabha along with the Annual Financial Statement. Generally, one Demand for Grant is presented in respect of each Ministry or Department. However, in respect of large Ministries or Departments more than one Demand is presented. In regard to Union Territories without Legislature, a separate Demand is presented for each of the Union Territories. In budget 2009-10 there are 105 Demands for Grants. Each Demand first gives the totals of ‘voted’ and ‘charged’ expenditure as also the ‘revenue’ and ‘capital’ expenditure included in the Demand separately and also the grand total of the amount of expenditure for which the Demand is presented. This is followed by the estimates of expenditure under different major heads of account. The breakup of the expenditure under each major head between ‘Plan’ and ‘Non-Plan’ is also given. The amounts of recoveries taken in reduction of expenditure in the accounts are also shown. A summary of Demands for Grants is given at the beginning of this document, while details of ‘New Service’ or ‘New Instrument of Service’ such as formation of a new company, undertaking or a new scheme, etc., if any, are indicated at the end of the document.

(ii) Each Demand normally includes the total provisions required for a service, that is, provisions on account of revenue expenditure, capital expenditure, grants to State and Union Territory Governments and also loans and advances relating to the service. Where the provision for a service is entirely for expenditure charged on the Consolidated Fund of India, for example, interest payments (Demand for Grant No. 34), a separate Appropriation, as distinct from a Demand, is presented for that expenditure and it is not required to be voted by Lok Sabha. Where, however, expenditure on a service includes both ‘voted’ and ‘charged’ items of expenditure, the latter are also included in the Demand presented for that service but the ‘voted’ and ‘charged’ provisions are shown separately in that Demand.

4. (C) Appropriation Bill

After the Demands for Grants are voted by the Lok Sabha, Parliament’s approval to the withdrawal from the Consolidated Fund of the amounts so voted and of the amount required to meet the expenditure charged on the Consolidated Fund is sought through the Appropriation Bill. Under Article 114(3) of the Constitution, no amount can be withdrawn from the Consolidated Fund without the enactment of such a law by Parliament.

The whole process beginning with the presentation of the Budget and ending with discussions and voting on the Demands for Grants requires sufficiently long time. The Lok Sabha is, therefore, empowered by the Constitution to make any grant in advance in respect of the estimated expenditure for a part of the financial year pending completion of procedure for the voting of the Demands. The purpose of the ‘Vote on Account’ is to keep Government functioning, pending voting of ‘final supply’. The Vote on Account is obtained from Parliament through an Appropriation (Vote on Account) Bill.

4. (D) Finance Bill

At the time of presentation of the Annual Financial Statement before Parliament, a Finance Bill is also presented in fulfilment of the requirement of Article 110 (1)(a) of the Constitution, detailing the imposition, abolition, remission, alteration or regulation of taxes proposed in the Budget. A Finance Bill is a Money Bill as defined in Article 110 of the Constitution. It is accompanied by a Memorandum explaining the provisions included in it.

4. (E) Memorandum Explaining the Provisions in the Finance Bill

To facilitate understanding of the taxation proposals contained in the Finance Bill, the provisions and their implications are explained in the document titled Memorandum Explaining the Provisions of the Finance Bill.

4. (F) Macro-economic Framework Statement

The Macro-economic Framework Statement, presented to Parliament under Section 3(5) of the Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management Act and the rules made thereunder contains an assessment of the growth prospects of the economy with specific underlying assumptions. It contains assessment regarding the GDP growth rate, fiscal balance of the Central Government and the external sector balance of the economy.

4. (G) Fiscal Policy Strategy Statements

The Fiscal Policy Strategy Statement, presented to Parliament under Section 3(4) of the Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management Act, outlines the strategic priorities of Government in the fiscal area for the ensuing financial year relating to taxation, expenditure, lending and investments, administered pricing, borrowings and guarantees. The Statement explains how the current policies are in conformity with sound fiscal management principles and gives the rationale for any major deviation in key fiscal measures.

4. (H) Medium-term Fiscal Policy Statement

The Medium-term Fiscal Policy Statement, presented to Parliament under Section 3(2) of the Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management Act 2003, sets out three-year rolling targets for four specific fiscal indicators in relation to GDP at market prices namely (i) Revenue Deficit, (ii) Fiscal Deficit, (iii) Tax to GDP ratio and (iv) Total out-standing Debt at the end of the year. The Statement includes the underlying assumptions, an assessment of sustainability relating to balance between revenue receipts and revenue expenditure and the use of capital receipts including market borrowings for generation of productive assets.

4.2 To facilitate a more comprehensive understanding of the major features of the Budget, certain other explanatory documents are presented. These are briefly summarized below.

4. (I) Expenditure Budget Volume-1

The estimates of expenditure included in the Demands for Grants are for the gross amounts. While the estimates of expenditure included in the Annual Financial Statement are for the net expenditure, after taking into account the recoveries.

The Expenditure Budget Vol. 1 also gives the total Plan provisions for each of the Ministries arranged under the various heads of development and highlights the budget provisions for the more important Plan programmes and schemes. A description of important schemes included in the Plan along with the objectives, targets and achievements is given in the Outcome Budget of the respective Ministry. Variations in the estimates of Plan expenditure are also explained.

(iv) Public Sector Enterprises

A large part of the Plan expenditure incurred by the Central Government is through public sector enterprises. Budgetary support for financing outlays of these enterprises is provided by Government either through investment in share capital or through loans. Expenditure Budget Vol. 1 shows the estimates of capital and loan disbursements to public sector enterprises in 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 for Plan and Non-Plan purposes and also the extra budgetary resources available for financing their Plans. A detailed report on the working of public sector enterprises is given in the document titled ‘Public Enterprises Survey’ brought out separately by the Department of Public Enterprises. A report on the working of the enterprises under the control of the various administrative Ministries is also given in the Annual Reports of the various Ministries circulated to Members of Parliament separately. The annual reports along with the audited accounts of each of the Government companies are also separately laid before Parliament. Besides, the reports of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India on the working of various public sector enterprises are also laid before Parliament.

(v) Commercial Departments

Railways is the principal departmentally-run commercial undertaking of Government. The Budget of the Ministry of Railways and the Demands for Grants relating to Railway expenditure are presented to Parliament separately. The total receipts and expenditure of the Railways are, however, incorporated in the Annual Financial Statement of the Government of India. To portray the actual working and not inflate either receipts or expenditure, the expenditure as reflected in the Receipts Budget & Expenditure Budget Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 has been taken net of receipts. The Demands for Grants of the Department of Telecommunications are presented along with other Demands of the Central Government.

(vi) The receipts and expenditure of the Defence Department shown in the Annual Financial Statement, are explained in greater detail in the document Defence Services Estimates presented along with the Detailed Demands for Grants of the Ministry of Defence.

(vii) The details of grants given to bodies other than State and Union Territory Governments are given in the statements of Grants-in-aid paid to non-Government bodies appended to Detailed Demands for Grants of the various Ministries. Annexure 5 to Expenditure Budget Vol.1 shows details of grants-in-aid exceeding Rs. 5 lakhs (recurring) or Rs. 10 lakhs (non-recurring) to private institutions, organizations and individuals sanctioned during the year 2007-08.

4. (J) Expenditure Budget Volume-2

The provisions made for a scheme or a programme may spread over a number of Major Heads in the Revenue and Capital sections in a Demand for Grants. In the Expenditure Budget Vol. 2, the estimates made for a scheme/programme are brought together and shown on a net basis at one place, by Major Heads. To understand the objectives underlying the expenditure proposed for various schemes and programmes in the Demands for Grants, suitable explanatory notes are included in this volume in which, wherever necessary, brief reasons for variations between the Budget estimates and revised estimates for the current year and requirements for the ensuing Budget year are also given.

4. (K) Receipts Budget

EEstimates of receipts included in the Annual Financial Statement are further analysed in the document “Receipts Budget”. The document provides details of tax and non-tax revenue receipts and capital receipts and explains the estimates. The document also provides the arrears of tax revenues and non-tax revenues, as mandated under the Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management Rules, 2004.Trend of receipts and expenditure along with deficit indicators, statement pertaining to National Small Savings Fund (NSSF), statement of revenues foregone, statement of liabilities, statement of guarantees given by the government, statements of assets and details of external assistance are also included in Receipts Budget.

4. (L) Budget at a Glance

(i) This document shows in brief, receipts and disbursements along with broad details of tax revenues and other receipts. This document also exhibits broad break-up of expenditure - Plan and Non-Plan, allocation of Plan outlays by sectors as well as by Ministries/Departments and details of resources transferred by the Central Government to State and Union Territory Governments.This document also shows the revenue deficit, the gross primary deficit and the gross fiscal deficit of the Central Government. The excess of Government’s revenue expenditure over revenue receipts constitutes revenue deficit of Government. Government mainly borrows through issue of dated securities, i.e. market borrowings. Apart from this, Government also borrows funds under many schemes which form part of capital receipts. The difference between the total expenditure of Government by way of revenue, capital and loans net of repayments on the one hand and revenue receipts of Government and capital receipts which are not in the nature of borrowing but which finally accrue to Government on the other, constitutes gross fiscal deficit. Gross primary deficit is measured by gross fiscal deficit reduced by gross interest payments. In the Budget documents ‘gross fiscal deficit’ and ‘gross primary deficit’ have been referred to in abbreviated form ‘fiscal deficit’ and ‘primary deficit’, respectively. This document also shows liabilities of the Government on account of securities (bonds) issued in lieu of oil and fertilizer subsidies.

(ii)The document also includes a statement indicating the quantum and nature (share in Central Taxes, grants/loan) of the total Resources transferred to States and Union Territory Governments. Details of these transfers by way of share of taxes, grants-in-aid and loans are given in Expenditure Budget Volume.1. Bulk of grants and loans are disbursed by the Ministry of Finance and are included in the Demand ‘Transfers to State and Union Territory Governments’. The grants and loans released to States and Union Territories by other Ministries/Departments are provided for in their respective Demands.

The Detailed Demands for Grants are laid on the table of the Lok Sabha sometime after the presentation of the Budget, but before the discussion on Demands for Grants commences. Detailed Demands for Grants further elaborate the provisions included in the Demands for Grants as also actual expenditure during the previous year. A break-up of the estimates relating to each programme/organisation, wherever the amount involved is not less than Rs.10 lakhs, is given under a number of object heads which indicate the categories and nature of expenditure incurred on that programme, like salaries, wages, travel expenses, machinery and equipment, grants-in-aid, etc. At the end of these Detailed Demands are shown the details of recoveries taken in reduction of expenditure in the accounts.

4. (P) Outcome Budget

(i) With effect from Financial Year 2007-08, the Performance Budget and the Outcome Budget hitherto presented to Parliament separately by Ministries/Departments, are merged and presented as a single document titled “Outcome Budget” by each Ministry/Department in respect of all Demands/Appropriations controlled by them, except those exempted from this requirement. Outcome Budget broadly indicates physical dimensions of the financial budget of a Ministry/Department, indicating actual physical performance in the preceding year (2007-2008), performance in the first nine months (up to December) of the current year (2008-2009) and the targeted performance during the ensuing year (2009-2010).

4. (R) Economic Survey

The Economic Survey brings out the economic trends in the country, which facilitates a better appreciation of the mobilisation of resources and their allocation in the Budget. The Survey analyses the trends in agricultural and industrial production, infrastructure, employment, money supply, prices, imports, exports, foreign exchange reserves and other relevant economic factors which have a bearing on the Budget, and is presented to the Parliament ahead of the Budget for the ensuing year.

The Budget of the Central Government is not merely a statement of receipts and expenditure. Since Independence, with the launching of Five Year Plans, it has also become a significant statement of governmental policy. The Budget reflects and shapes, and is, in turn, shaped by the country’s economic life. For a better appreciation of the impact of governmental receipts and expenditure on the other sectors of the economy, it is necessary to group them in terms of economic magnitudes, for example, how much is set aside for capital formation, how much is spent directly by the Government and how much is transferred by Government to other sectors of the economy by way of grants, loans, etc. This analysis is contained in the document Economic and Functional Classification of the Central Government Budget which is brought out by the Ministry of Finance separately.

Do you want to access your orkut account from your school, college or office internet connection? Websense and some other network filters may be of great problem to you as these network filters block orkut and other community websites like MySpace, Facebook, iLike etc. Now I am sharing the list of orkut proxy sites which are working in different internet networks and connections. Even if your internet network has network filter, you can use these orkur proxy servers to unblock orkut in the network.

In most of the cases, proxy servers got detected by the network filters if you are using those proxy sites for the long time. Therefore, there is no such popular orkut proxy site and if you want to effectively use proxy sites for unblocking orkut, then you must use new proxy sites all the time. Now I am sharing a list of new proxy sites which are updated regularly so that you can always find new proxy sites for orkut. This list of orkut proxy sites is updated regularly so that you can find free and fresh proxy sites all the time.

Orkut is very famous community websites in some countries like US, Brazil, India and some other countries. But orkut is banned in most of the college and school internet network of these places as it is quite addictive. So, I use to access my orkut profile using the proxy list from my office internet network. This proxy list is working fine and the most interesting part of these proxy servers is that this proxy list always adds new proxy sites every week. Fresh and new proxy sites are far effective than the famous and old proxy sites as these proxy servers have already been detected by your network and your network can easily filter those proxy sites. Now you can enjoy these proxy sites for orkut and other communities.

I put up some of the banners of web hosting companies on which we can rely for hosting your websites. I am personally sharing some of the web hosting companies which I experienced in the last few years of my business in online activities and which I think is worth sharing. I have been working in the online based business for the last 5-6 years and I can help you in finding the best, cheap and reliable web hosting. Web hosting is the most important think if you want to enter the world of internet business or if you want to start building your homepage or personal blog. I started hosting my websites with some of the free web hosting companies. But there is no surety in free web hosting and there is no reliable free web hosting. Once I have lost database of websites when I was hosting this website in free web hosting and I required building it again from the scratch. Now I decided to share some of the good and cheap webhosting so that you will not make such a mistake again.

There are different types of web hosting schemes provided by the web hosting companies like dedicated servers, free domain hosting, multiple domain hosting, corporate hosting etc. But most of the people prefer to host their websites in reliable web hosting so that their websites will be online for most of the time. I will prefer the web hosting companies which I have listed some banners as I have personally experienced with some of the web hosting companies and also some of the my friends are currently hosting in other hosting companies. Altogether I can give assurance that you will not repent with the performance of these web hosting companies. If you want to host your corporate websites or files and software in reliable web host, then they are offering dedicated or corporate web hosting. Also if you are looking for reseller web hosting to start your own business, then they are offering these web hosting schemes also.

I recently found a list of proxy websites which is updated regularly and fresh proxies are regularly added on this list of proxy sites. These proxy websites can be used to unblock MySpace, Orkut, Facebook, Meebo and other communities from any kind of internet network. There are different purposes of proxy servers and proxy websites. Your internet network cannot filter these proxy websites as these proxy servers are completely new and if one proxy is detected and blocked by your network filter, you can use another proxy server which is working. A proxy server is basically a server which provides their clients to use this server to request the resources from another server.

If your school or college internet network blocks some of the community like Facebook, MySpace or Orkut, then you can use these proxy sites to access those websites from your internet network. If you are using a proxy website, then you are not directly surfing from your IP address or server and therefore your computer is conneected to the internet through another proxy server. There are some people, mostly internet marketers, who use proxy servers as bypass proxy. Craigslist and Gumtree are two major classified Ads which are used by many marketers and business people to advertise their products. If your IP is blocked and you cannot access to these websites, then you can use proxy websites to access websites.

There are some proxies which are working for unblocking MySpace, Orkut, Facebook, Meebo, Craigslist and Gumtree:

Proxy server can also be used by using proxy software but you need to install proxy software which nobody wants to do. If you are using proxy websites, then you can directly use the address bar in the proxy websites to surf the internet directly. Some people use proxy servers as they want to surf the internet anonymously and do not want to show their IP address for security reasons. There are different proxy servers like anonymizing proxy servers, hostile proxy servers, forced proxy servers, open proxy servers, reverse proxy servers and many more. As a proxy user, you do not need to know about all these proxy servers as you can surf all the websites using the new proxy sites in the list.

Life is a very complex journey. Nobody knows what will happen in the next moment of life and may be this is the only reason why life is interesting. Once people start knowing what will happen in his future, then his/her life becomes useless or becomes a joke without humor. My life has gone through different stages and I enjoy every single moment of life. When I was little boy, I was quite studious and also sincere who always said truth to my mom. I was good boy of my mom and I really miss my mom. I do not know how I can repay her for what she did for my life. Till class higher secondary, I was quite sincere in study and also at the same time I was cool dude of friends around.

Then, College life was turning point in my life during which I experienced everything. Late night party and all day sleep were the daily routine of college time (especially 3rd year and final year). Friends and only friends were the most precious assets of the time which made the time more special and enjoyable. This was the time when people in bars and restaurants used to salud as we were the regular customers.

One peculiar thing about me is that I hardly think about future and I always believe in God. In the toughest situation of my life, I always stay cool thinking that God has a better plan for me. I also love my father who is the toughest guy to the people but the dearest one to me. He is the one who is very strict by rule and always sticks to the decision but quite flexible and supportive to me.

Now I am enjoying the life in Maruti Suzuki and learning how the corporate world is like. I do not know whether I am enjoying my work but I am quite sure that this is also a new taste and like child always loves new taste, I love this life also. To people, I do not know what they perceive but to me, I am what I am and if people think that I am changed or I need to be changed, but I have my own rule and I will always go accordingly. Finally, I love my family, my place and my surrounding, may be they cannot recognize me but I always remember them, every moment and I would like to thank them for making my life special. I am sharing some photographs which can reflect some special moments of my life.
