Full Budget against Constitution: Yashwant Sinha

-The Hindu

‘Economic Survey also against norms’

New Delhi:
If the Narendra Modi government presents a full Budget instead of a vote-on-account, it will not only be improper but also unconstitutional, former Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha said on Monday.

“No Finance Minister has presented a Finance Bill in a vote-on-account session. If this government does that, it will be the first time and it will be in direct contravention of the Constitution,” Mr. Sinha said.

He was speaking at a freewheeling session with the Indian Women’s Press Corps.

He said Article 116 of the Constitution clearly laid down the need for a vote-on-account. If the government had a choice of presenting a full Budget or vote-on-account, there was no need for this section.

Mr. Sinha said the government does not have the authority to present the Economic Survey or a Finance Bill or introduce new services. “They can only introduce an appropriation Bill for sanctioning expenditure for the next three to four months,” he added.
