Budget estimates for 2022-23 fiscal
Keeping a tight rein on expenses must remain a serious priority for the government, given the acute financial crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Finance Department has indicated. The department has urged heads of government departments to keep the need to economise clearly in mind when preparing the Budget estimates for the 2022-23 fiscal. “The serious financial constraints being faced by the government make it imperative for it to prepare the Budget 2022-23 with extreme austerity,” Additional Chief Secretary (Finance) Rajesh Kumar Singh noted in a set of instructions issued to the heads of departments.More Related News
