  1. The expenditure made on which of the following does not require budgetary approval every year in India?
    1. Defence
    2. Natural calamities
    3. Consolidated fund
    4. Contingency fund
Correct Option: B

Natural Calamities are sudden “acts of god,” which cannot be anticipated and planned. So budgetary approvals are not needed in this case. A budget is normally a statement of revenue receipts and expenditure. An appropriation bill or running bill is a legislative motion (bill) which authorizes the government to spend money. It is a bill that sets money aside for specific spending.
