How does a "vote of credit" differ from a "vote on account"?
A "vote on account" is a grant made in advance for an estimated expenditure for a part of the financial year, pending the completion of the procedure prescribed in Article 113 for voting the grant and passing the law according to the provisions of Article 114 relating to that expenditure.

A "vote of credit" is when money is granted by the House of the People without specifying any purpose for which it is intended, but only on the trust that it will be applied to purposes required by public business. It can be used when there is a sudden need or emergency, and the usual procedure for granting funds cannot be followed in time.
