Q. Whose approval is enough to withdraw money from the Consolidated Fund of India?
Answer: Only Parliament
Notes: The Consolidated Fund of India was constituted under Article 266(1) of the Indian Constitution in 1950. Only after the enactment of an Appropriation Act by Parliament can funds be withdrawn from this Fund. The President of India cannot authorize withdrawal without parliamentary sanction. Expenditure from the Consolidated Fund includes government salaries, pensions, and all government-managed programs, all subject to prior parliamentary approval as stipulated in Article 114.
