An Economic-cum-Functional Classification of The Karnataka Government Budget 1984-85

Abstract

From Preface: The budget of the State Government is presented to the Legislature every year in a conventional pattern. It gives detailed information about its receipts and expenditure and other financial transactions for a given financial year and the preceding two years. This form of presentation may secure accountability for any act of spending and may also meet the needs of administrative convenience and ensure control by the Legislature. But, it does not bring out the economic significance of the Government’ s budgetary transactions.
