In terms of Rule 21 of General Financial Rules (GFRs)
expenditure should not be prima facie more than the occasion demands. Further,
in terms of Rule 64 of GFRs, the Chief Accounting Authority of a
Ministry/Department shall take effective and appropriate steps to ensure that
his Ministry/Department avoids unauthorized, irregular and wasteful expenditure.
Government also issues instructions on expenditure management from time to time.
The last set of instructions on expenditure management were issued in May, 2011
and July, 2011. The instructions advise adherence to budgeted estimates of
2011-12 and contain economy measures related to Seminars/Conferences, Purchase
of vehicles, Foreign Travel, Consultancy Assignments etc. and guidelines for
observance of discipline in fiscal transfers and balanced pace of
expenditure.
The responsibility for implementing the instructions rests with the respective Ministries/Departments and data is not maintained centrally.
