Answer: Short expenditures of revenues
Notes: The term "Vote on Account" in parliamentary terminology is used in the context of [D] Short expenditures of revenues.
A Vote on Account is a provision made by the government to secure funds for a limited period to meet essential and urgent expenditures when the full budget for the financial year has not been passed by the Parliament. It allows the government to withdraw money from the Consolidated Fund of India to cover expenses like salaries, ongoing programs, and other essential government functions until the full budget is approved.
This interim arrangement ensures that the government can continue its operations and services without disruption even if the detailed budget proposals are still under discussion and approval in the Parliament. Once the full budget is passed, the Vote on Account is replaced by the Appropriation Bill, which contains the detailed allocation of funds for various government activities.
